RFS: mpop - POP3 mail retriever (updated version)

[Carlos Martín Nieto]

Hello,

 My usual sponsor is unavailable, so I'm asking here for someone to
sponsor this upload for me.

 This package is lintian-clean, updated the Debian version of this app
and sets me as the maintainer after its former maintainer has been MIA
for some time and the package has been orphaned.

Thanks,

   cmn

Hi,

I'm going to have a look in a few hours unless someone beats me to it.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Some comments:
 - you may want to use the -S switch from debuild (or dpkg-buildpackage)
   and lintian-check your package, it contains config.log, which you
   could delete.
 - using lsdiff -z on the .diff.gz, one can notice that the manpage
   changes aren't reverted when building the source, it'd be nice to fix
   that.
 - you could delete the comments in debian/watch. Appropriate
   documentation can be found in uscan(1) in case someone forgets about
   the syntax and the common examples.
 - the boilerplate is (AFAIK) needed in debian/copyright, please don't
   remove it. Also, one has to specify the years for the copyright
   holders, but also: one has to use either “Copyright”, “Copr.” or “©”
   in front of the copyright year(s) and the author names, “(C)” doesn't
   mean anything (but can be added after “Copyright”, see usual FSF
   boilerplate).
 - debian/copyright doesn't say anything about debian/rules being public
   domain either.

I didn't test the runtime yet, will do once you've addressed the above
points.

Sorry for not having sent that before, I thought I would have more time
to check it more thoroughly, but I didn't yet. Will do in a second pass.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Hello,

 Sorry for taking so long to answer, but I've been away from my
computer, private keys and Internet.

 The package is again at http://cmartin.tk/mpop/mpop_1.0.14-1.dsc

 Done.

 The boilerplate I was refering to were the Debian comments. The actual
licence is in common-licences and lintian complaints if I keep it.

 Ah yes, the copyright years. Done.

 I hadn't noticed that. I inherited the package this way.
