Hi, 1) changelog: - -- fossfreedom <foss.free...@gmail.com> Mon, 28 Dec 2015 19:20:43 +0000 + -- David Mohammed <foss.free...@gmail.com> Mon, 28 Dec 2015 19:20:43 +0000 you changed the first changelog entry, not a big problem, but you might want to change it back. - lintian is complaining about NMU, probably because you have to update also the maintainer field - the changelog needs a little update. fixes that are part of upstream new release should be carried inside that entry. e.g. * New upstream release. (Closes: #811263) - include upstream changelog - drag and drop of column headers (issue 67) - slider greyed out on start (issue 69) - Translations displayed correctly (issue 64) --> * Packaging changes (byte-compilation, dependencies) this is so generic. you might change with "add python3-gi build dependency, needed for foo add some version constraints, needed for foo/bar 2) control: e.g. - dh-python, + dh-python (>= 1.20130903), this change makes me think you didn't start from the unstable version on your packaging changes. the version of dependencies are already satisfied in old-old-stable, so you can just remove them. the add of python3-gi has a rationale? (I'm fine with new dependencies, as long as they are needded and not a leftover of a bad packaging change) 3) copyright: -Copyright: 2015 fossfreedom <foss.free...@gmail.com> +Copyright: 2015 David Mohammed <foss.free...@gmail.com> maybe you might want to change in Copyright: 2015-2016 David Mohammed <foss.free...@gmail.com> 4) about the postrm/prerm scripts, I'm not sure they are worth the effort. BTW debian/postrm "python3 -m compileall /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/alternative-toolbar/ > /dev/null 2>&1" you compile the python stuff in the postrm script? so when a user removes the package the files are compiled? maybe it was postinstall? :) in fact adeguate still complains http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar/0.16.3-1/contents http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar/0.16.3-1/piuparts let me know when you have addressed the above. cheers, Gianfranco
