RFS: libctl

[Thorsten Alteholz-2]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "libctl", that I would like to
adopt (it is orphaned since May).

* Package name    : libctl
   Version         : 3.0.3-1
   Upstream Author : Steven G. Johnson
   URL             : http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Libctl
* License         : LGPL
   Section         : devel

It builds these binary packages:
libctl-dev - library for flexible control files, development version
libctl-doc - libctl documentation in HTML format
libctl3    - library for flexible control files

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 481039

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libctl
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libctl/libctl_3.0.3-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Best regards
  Thorsten

For consistency and clear correlation, perhaps the three synopses
should be:

    library for flexible control files, development version
    library for flexible control files, documentation
    library for flexible control files

Hi Thorsten!

First, you should fill an ITA to let everyone knows that you are working
on this package. This avoids to duplicate efforts.

Second,  I don't find  the key  you used  to sign  the package.  Did you
upload it to some public key server?

In debian/changelog, you can close  #491356 which asks for packaging the
new upstream release.

debian/copyright is incomplete.  Some files are licensed with LGPLv2+.

Since you are installing a library in /usr/lib, you should call ldconfig
in postinst and postrm (policy 8.1.1).

You should add a debian/watch file.

In  debian/rules,  I think  that  the  first  include is  useless.  cdbs
integrates its own targets for dpatch.
