Having the generated googleearth binary package be lintian clean like a real Debian package is not a high-priority goal of googleearth-package since the generated binary package is completely non-distributable, but I agree that it would be nice. If you (or anyone else) are motivated, Patches to fix any of the following would be helpful > To sum up, you will need to: > * Write a short man page for googleearth For this it would be easy to make a stub, but I don't think it takes any command-line options other than kml/kmz files.

There is actually *no* grant of any copyright permissions, only "use" rights (which can't actually be restricted as much as the EULA tries to make it sound like, but...). But anyway, I suppose I could make the "copyright" file a link to this. > * Remove the executable permission from .so This is doable. > * Install a changelog file (why not the same as googleearth-package) Not sure that's a good idea, since the same (or different!) googleearth-package version(s) could generate the same or different versions of googleearth package, but the googleearth binary package is versioned only using the upstream version number... I'll have to think about this one. > There are some small issues left but this would be great to have at least > an almost clean package. Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have a ton of time to work on this right now, so patches would probably speed things up. Otherwise, I'll get to this stuff eventually. =) -- Wesley J.
