    Hi,

    the package triggers several lintian warnings. I guess most of them
    were already present in old version. But at least the package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files
    warning for the new usbrelayd package can be trivially fixed by setting
    its arch to "all" instead of "any".

    Regards,
    Tino

    Hi Tino,

    thanks for the feedback.

    the package triggers several lintian warnings. I guess most of them
    were already present in old version. But at least the package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files
    warning for the new usbrelayd package can be trivially fixed by setting
    its arch to "all" instead of "any".

    I've removed the package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files warning and reuploaded (https://mentors.debian.net/package/usbrelay/). I'm a bit
    confused that when I run lintian locally, I get less warnings that what
    is shown in mentors.debian.net. Are there some switches that I need to
    run lintian with to see all relevant warnings?

    I'm also not sure about NMU warnings. Shall I mention NMU in the
    changelog or it will be done by the one who will really upload the
    package?

    Best regards,
    -Michal

    Try lintian -I -E --pedantic
    or set up .lintianrc file with these option enabled

    (Its all in the lintian man page)

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Hi,


    the NMU warnings are triggered because you created the changelog entry, but your address is not mentioned in the Maintainer: or Uploaders: field in debian/control. So your package is a NMU. The changelog should be complete, so it should mention a NMU.

    If you intend to care for the package in the future and stay in contact with the package maintainer, you might ask the package maintainer if it is okay for him if your name and address is added to the Uploaders: field. In this case, your package won't be
    a NMU anymore.

    Regards,
    Tino
