Bug#1017875: RFS: blender-doc/3.2-1 [ITP] -- Blender Manual by the Blender Foundation

[Jonathan Rubenstein]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-m...@lists.debian.org

Dear mentors and debian-multimedia,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "blender-doc":

* Package name : blender-doc
Version : 3.2-1
Upstream Author : Blender Documentation Team <bf-do...@blender.org>
* URL : https://docs.blender.org/manual/
* License : CC-BY-SA-4.0
* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/JJRcop/blender-doc
Section : doc

The source builds the following binary packages:

blender-doc - Blender Manual by the Blender Foundation

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/blender-doc/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/blender-doc/blender-doc_3.2-1.dsc

Changes for the initial release:

blender-doc (3.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Initial release. (Closes: #1006255)


Additional notes:

I am currently having trouble with lintian reporting source-is-missing
because one of a file having very-long-line-length-in-source-file. I'm
not sure how to solve this issue while conforming to Debian Policy, and
need some help.

I'm sure this package needs a little bit of care as well in the control
file, but otherwise I have tested it many times and it works the way I
expect it, and as far as I know follows Debian Policy, but what do I know?

Regards,
--

Hi!
The package looks pretty good, save for copyright stuff. Alas, that's the
least fun part of packaging, but one that needs to be done right at the
start.

I see for example blender_docs/tools_rst/retext.js having:

license: MIT https://github.com/wooorm/retext/blob/master/LICENSE
author: Titus Wormer http://wooorm.com

According to licensecheck, there's also plenty of GPLed stuff.

It's not a minified file or otherwise "compiled" file, thus you can add
a lintian override.

Looks good to me otherwise, good work!
