N: I: pexec source: debian-watch-contains-dh_make-template Example watch control file for uscan [debian/watch] N: N: The watch file contains a standard template included by dh_make. Please N: remove them once you have implemented the watch file. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: debian/watch N: N: I: pexec source: older-debian-watch-file-standard 3 [debian/watch] N: N: The version= line in the debian/watch file in this package declares an N: older version. Please upgrade when you have a chance. N: N: Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: debian/watch/standard Removing the not in use template code from the file would be good. I: pexec source: out-of-date-standards-version 4.7.0 (released 2024-04-07) (current is 4.7.2) N: N: The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that N: was current at the time the package was created (according to the N: timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating N: the package to current Policy and setting this control field N: appropriately. N: N: If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't N: have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control N: field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload N: the package. N: N: See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the N: debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of N: Policy. N: N: Please refer to N: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for N: details. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: fields/standards-version It would be great if the package was updated to the latest 'Standards-Version', 4.7.2 on parity with the latest Debian Policy. N: I: pexec source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream [debian/patches/cflags.patch] N: N: According to the DEP-3 headers, this patch has not been forwarded N: upstream. N: N: Please forward the patch and try to have it included in upstream's version N: control system. If the patch is not suitable for that, please mention N: not-needed in the Forwarded field of the patch header. N: N: Please refer to social contract item 2, Coordination with upstream N: developers (Section 3.1.4) in the Debian Developer's Reference, Changes to N: the upstream sources (Section 4.3) in the Debian Policy Manual, and N: Bug#755153 for details.

N: I: pexec source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/help2man.patch] N: N: quilt patch files should start with a description of patch. All lines N: before the start of the patch itself are considered part of the N: description. You can edit the description with quilt header -e when the N: patch is at the top of the stack. N: N: As well as a description of the purpose and function of the patch, the N: description should ideally contain author information, a URL for the bug N: report (if any), Debian or upstream bugs fixed by it, upstream status, the N: Debian version and date the patch was first included, and any other N: information that would be useful if someone were investigating the patch N: and underlying problem. Please consider using the DEP 3 format for this N: information. N: N: Please refer to https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/ for details. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: debian/patches/quilt N: N: I: pexec source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/info.patch] N: I: pexec source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/texinfo- 5.patch] Look at over time and make changes as necessary. N: I: pexec: typo-in-manual-page exectution execution [usr/share/man/man1/pexec.1.gz:126] N: N: Lintian found a spelling error in a manual page. Lintian has a list of N: common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like N: a spelling checker does. N: N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of N: gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, please fix N: the error in the translations as well as the English text to avoid making N: the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this means you should N: also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po N: files. N: N: Visibility: info N: Show-Always: no N: Check: documentation/manual N: Renamed from: spelling-error-in-manpage N: Look at over time and make changes as necessary. N: P: pexec: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL N: N: The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in N: /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL N: license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the N: license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow N: relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally N: consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under N: later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally N: better to point to the version of the license the package references in N: its license statement. N: N: For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it N: and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as N: published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your N: option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to N: /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL. N: N: For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the N: GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.

N: P: pexec source: homepage-field-uses-insecure-uri http://www.gnu.org/software/pexec/ N: N: The Homepage field uses an unencrypted transport protocol for the URI. N: N: Visibility: pedantic N: Show-Always: no N: Check: fields/homepage N: N: P: pexec: homepage-field-uses-insecure-uri http://www.gnu.org/software/pexec/ Update to HTTPS if we can. N: P: pexec source: no-dep5-copyright [debian/copyright] N: N: This package does not use a machine-readable debian/copyright file. N: N: This format makes it easier to review licenses and can be easily parsed by N: Lintian. N: N: Please refer to N: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for N: details. N: N: Visibility: pedantic N: Show-Always: no N: Check: debian/copyright/dep5 N: Updating this file to DEP-5 format would be great. I: Lintian run was successful. Summary ======= 'debian/watch' version should be updated to '4'. Looking promising. You are taking on a package needs quite a bit of small but time consuming work. As these problems have been present for some time, you may have the upload done and work on other things later, but that is up to you? -- Regards Phil Donate: https://buymeacoffee.com/kathenasorg -- "I play the game for the game’s own sake" Arthur Conan Doyle - The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans -- Internet Relay Chat (IRC): kathenas Website: https://kathenas.org Instagram: https://instagram.com/kathenasorg Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kathenasorg --
