Dear Yaroslav,<br>
<br>
I think I accommodated all your points and uploaded a new package to
mentors. Please let me known if there is anything missing.<br>
<br>
I also tried to build the packages with ndtools, but it didn't work
for some reasons. I merely got a summary.build log file with a very
unspecific failure message. I am sure that you can figure out
quickly what the problem is.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Oliver,
Great to hear from you with expyriment source package.
We would be happy to review/sponsor it ... quick feedback to get the
ball rolling:
1. There seemed to be a slight hiccup with uploads

python-expyriment_0.7.0-2.dsc:
Good signature found
validating python-expyriment_0.7.0.orig.tar.gz
dscverify: invalid file length for python-expyriment_0.7.0.orig.tar.gz (wanted 2045454 got 2042893)
validating python-expyriment_0.7.0-2.diff.gz
Validation FAILED!!
could you please verify that correct "version" reaches mentors?
2. Ideally all previous debian versions which haven't reached Debian proper
would be marked as UNRELEASED (not unstable).
3. there should be no pre-generated documentation under documentation/ --
only sphinx sources, and the rest built at package build time
4. I would recomment to use 3.0 (quilt) source format, which would have
.debian.tar.gz instead of .diff.gz , e.g.
(git)novo:~exppsy/pandas[debian]
$> cat debian/source/format
3.0 (quilt)
5. debian/copyright
checkout the current standard for it -- tiny changes needed:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0">http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0</a>
6. ./documentation/sphinx/Testsuite.rst describes present tests... it would be
really nice if some of those (testing presence of fonts etc) sensible to run
under xvfb were excercised. I have done the same for psychopy and
psychtoolbox-3. you could check those packages for xvfb setup/dependencies to add.
7. it would be really nice if you could have followed
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://neuro.debian.net/blog/2012/2012-04-14_ndtools.html">http://neuro.debian.net/blog/2012/2012-04-14_ndtools.html</a>
and tested package building across multiple debian/ubuntu releases.
8. debian/control -- no need for "A " in short description -- it is assumed ;)
also "open-source and platform independent" another not needed -- if it
is in Debian, it is open-source, platform independent - since you are on
Debian already, it is kinda irrelevant
also if you could provide Vcs- fields -- would be nice
Cheers!
