  1. The source-is-missing issue, the files are there as is, there was no source code upstream for these to be included.

  1. Some of the lintian issues have been forwarded upstream, and will be working them away one-by-one. https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/6106

Keen on getting this in NEW, as that will take some time, and in the meantime I hope the fixes will come through.

  2. Arif,

Importing this into Salsa would help some DD's and be ready for acceptance/moving into the 'debian' namespace.

Doing review now.

Phil

  1. Arif,

The maintainer in d/control is not the name in d/changelog. It is causing issues in lintian.

You may wish to look at it before I do a public review.

Below is lintian output:

N:   to other alternative implementations, when a better more neutral name can
N:   be used instead.

E: Lintian run failed (runtime error)

  2. Thanks for the initial review.

The no-man-page is already being resolved upstream, so wanted to get this in NEW queue while that is being worked on in the background. And once that is ready I can bring that in. (I know it take ~3 weeks for something to land once it's in NEW)

I only added the overrides for the python libs based on what I saw locally, and what my run of lintian showed, so not sure why you see it differently.

anyhow, seems like you got more out of lintian than I did in my previous run. Thanks for that. I'll double check my build env, and test, and come back
