In debian/control: Build-Depends: - These packages are always part of the base system. Unless you need a particular version of them you don't need to build-depend: base-files (>= 3.0.8 ) libc6 (>= 2.3.1-16 ) coreutils (>= 4.5.10-1 ) grep (>= 2.5.1-4 ) - These packages are already in the Build-Essential set, you don't need to build-depend on them, either (unless you need a particular version): binutils (>= 2.13.90.0.18-1.3 ) gcc-3.3 libc6-dev (>= 2.3.1-16 ) perl-base (>= 5.8.0-17 ) perl-modules (>= 5.8.0-17 ) - The following packages are shared libraries. You don't need these in build-depends. If you need the development files (headers and object archives) for compiling your package, build-depend on their correspondant -dev packages instead: libxml1 libglade0 libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.2.1-3 ) libncurses5 (>= 5.3.20021109-2 ) libgnome2-0 - Do you really need version >= 2.57-2woody1 of autoconf? If you're running autoconf at build time, probably any of the 2.5x series is enough, which means you just need to build-depend on unversioned autoconf, and build-conflict with autoconf2.13 (to avoid it from setting a /usr/bin/autoconf divert) autoconf (>= 2.57-2woody1 ) - You don't need to depend on shared libraries, dpkg-shlibdeps already takes care of adding it: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 - Also remember to indent the Description field. In debian/copyright: - The "It was downloaded from sourceforge.net" doesn't suffice to refer someone for downloading it. P.S: Remember to run lintian on your .dsc and .deb for automatic evaluation of your package before uploading it. P.P.S: please sign your source package next time (just install gnupg and create a key, it'll be signed automaticaly by dpkg-buildpackage) and publish your gpg key. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T., Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
