Author: jawnsy-guest

New Revision: 43262

URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-perl/?sc=1&rev=43262
Log:
NOTES from review:
- Note the newest S-V version is 3.8.3, and among other changes, it
  lets us drop the version dependency on perl (for versions older or
  equal to the one available in oldstable, 5.8.8-7)
- For maintainability it's useful to convert old modules to use the
  new debhelper rules format. There is a page on this on the wiki.
  In general using:
     %:
         dh --with quilt $@
  should probably be sufficient. (Requires debhelper 7.0.8 and quilt 0.46-7)
  -> You should bump compat to "7" (corresponding to "debhelper 7" series)
- The patches could use some more of the headers defined in DEP3
- Please convert to the new machine-readable copyright format; cf.
  http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat?action=recall&rev=196
- Gregor's email address has changed to gregoa at debian.org
- Please try to wrap lines in control to 78-80 chars, to make things
  easier to edit
- The description should have "Authen::Radius" in it somewhere, so that
  users can find it if they do: apt-cache search Authen::Radius
- The Description synopsis line should begin with a noun, so that you
  can read it as: <pkg> is a <synopsis> (the short description). So,
  something like: Perl module to authenticate users using RADIUS.
- You may want to consider using the watch regexp from another package.
  This one seems pretty old and I'm not sure it's robust enough to pick
  up new releases.
