thank you all for sharing your feedback.
I updated my packaging files and fixed most of the issues (also received
some help from the debian-octave list). The updated package can be found at
https://mentors.debian.net/package/zmat
A quick summary:
1. I renamed the library back to libzmat1 as many of you suggested it is
the right naming format
2. I modified the orig package via a setup script
<https://salsa.debian.org/fangq/libzmat/-/blob/zmat/README.md> to
- 1) remove the bundled lz4 files, and link the binary with
system's liblz4 library, and
- 2) add the missing octave DESCRIPTION/INDEX files,
3. bumped my debhelper compat level to 12
I hope these are acceptable solutions. the only error left is the
"UNRELEASED" in the changelog. should I set it to "unstable"? will the
package be backported automatically in the future to stable?
thanks
Qianqian
