(Get the code!)
Hi. Thanks a lot for the input. I was able to improve the package and re-upload it. In detail:
1. upstream is now untouched - artofillusion.sh and build.xml are in debian/patches
2. changelog is fixed, current Standards-Version fixed, synopsis fixed
3. format is now 3.0 (quilt) and whole package is quilted.
4. Thanks to your advice (licencecheck) I was able to add some missing authors and put all the GPL2+ in the proper section
5. manpage added
6. LICENCE file fixed (also in debian/patches)
7. package split into artofillusion-
8. package is now Lintian-clean
-----
Remaining issues:
1. debian/watch added: but it doesn't work. The upstream uses SF and a wierd versioning. Version 3.0 is in the filename encoded as "30" and version 2.9.2 as "292". As a result it always reports that 292 is the newest version. What can we do there?
2. empty directories: without the empty directories, the program runs into errors. You can test that by deleting them after installation. I could remove them from the build and add them to artofillusion.sh, so they will be created on the first start. What shall we do?
If you have time I would be thankful, if you can review it again. Thanks.
