Bug#873094: RFS: granite/0.4.1-1 [ITP]



Hi,

thanks for providing an updated package.

However, I'm sorry that I have misses a few bits before:

- d/changelog:
  As this is not an ITP (where no history is available), re-introduction
  has a history and you need to continue writing it. In other words:
  Please document the changes you have made to the packaging since the
  last upload to Debian.

- d/control:
  The versions of the B-D on gobject-introspection, valac and libgtk-3-dev
  can be dropped, as even oldstable has it.

- d/copyright
  cmake/ParseArguments.cmake -> I cannot see why this is BSD-2?
  Please expand :) If my point is true:
  Do we need to remove this file because of unknown license?

  lib/Widgets/ModeButton.vala -> Copyright years are 2008-2013 for all
  copyrght holders.

  lib/Services/ContractorProxy.vala -> Years wrong, file header says 2011-2013

New stuff:
- There is now Boyuan Yang as 2nd uploader. Can you expand on you have
added him?

Misc:
- On salsa, I think you can delete the branch deb-packaging, can't you?

- cmake/ParseArguments.cmake --> The wiki page in the header of the file says
  this may be obsolete and quote: "If you are using CMake 2.8.3 or newer please
  use the CMakeParseArguments macro provided by the default CMake installation
  instead of the code below." Please file that upstream and try to patch
  the build so that the cmake file from cmake is used.

Nothing to change, but hint for future packaging:
You d/copyright is more verbose that it needs to be: It is perfectly
fine to combine Files: sections sharing the same license, even if
the authors / copyright years are not always the same.

This will ease work for people reviewing

Hard to explain by words, so a virtual example:

Files: *
Copyright: 2015,2018 AuthorA <a@example.org>
License: GPL

Files: B
Copyright: 2017,2018 AuthorB <a@example.org>
License: GPL

Files: C
Copyright: 2016,2017 AuthorA <a@example.org>
           2016,2017 AuthorB <b@example.org>
License: GPL

can be simply written as:

Files: *
Copyright: 2015,2016-2018  AuthorA <a@example.org>
           2017-2018  AuthorB <b@example.org
License: GPL
