Hi, Paul Wise schrieb: * debian/control: need an extra space before Homepage (see the devref 6.2.4), may as well remove the extra / from the end of the URL. No. The / at the end is usually important, although a number of web servers hand out redirects (i.e. one extra round trip) if you omit it. * debian/control: hmm, not sure if the Section is correct. I think utils or perhaps otherosfs would be more appropriate - compare with orange or unshield / etc. Well, mail would be fine IMO, since this type of file is usually found in emails.

* Kevin Coyner [EMAIL PROTECTED] [060406 18:29]: I am looking for a sponsor for the package 'tnef'. This is a great little program for unpacking those winmail.dat attachments that some of your friends insist on sending you. tnef has been in the Debian Archives since December 2000 and was recently put up for adoption. Since I use it and have too many friends that continue to send me winmail.dat attachments, I'd like to see it remain in Debian. [...] Source files: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tnef/ Either my md5sum utility has some bug, or the .orig.tar.gz only has the same content but different timestamps than the .tar.gz from sf.net. The manpage misses some spaces. (though that is really a minor one, and a upstream bug, too) Otherwise it looks good. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

Without that slash it is no URL any more. (Slashes at the end of the path may be omitted, though some webserver do funny stuff then. But between the hostname and the path there has to be a slash, otherwise it simply is no URL any more). Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

Re: RFS: tnef -- Tool to unpack MIME application/ms-tnef attachments
I recently had a similar problem with my package libgpiv2; the differences between upstram .tar.gz and .orig.tar.gz., I think , is due to the differences in the root direcory names. Programs/scripts like dh_make create a new directory 'name.orig' if you start to debianize an upstream package from scratch. During building the package the name.orig is packed into name.orig.tar.gz. The md5check sum's of the CONTENTS of upstream and progname-version.orig were identic, but the md5check sum's of tar.gz and orig.tar.gz FILES were different. The only remedy against this is to rename the name.tar.gz (from upstream) to name.orig.tar.gz before you start building the package. Maybe there should be filed a bug against dh_make for this?

Thanks much for your review and comments, and likewise thanks to the others who gave their comments too. A newly packaged version fixing the things above is now available at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tnef/ I also fixed the md5sum inconsistency. This is a nice little program that needs to stay with Debian. Still hoping that someone will sponsor it.
