[Debian-med-packaging] Hints for next version of Amide

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Andy,

when creating the Debian package of Amide I've got the following warning
from Debian's policy checker:

I: amide: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/amide transfering transferring
N: 
N:    Lintian found a spelling error in the given binary. Lintian has a list
N:    of common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary
N:    like a spelling checker does.
N:    
N:    If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help
N:    of gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations
N:    as well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With
N:    gettext, for example, this means you should also fix the spelling
N:    mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po files.
...


You might like to fix this in your next upstream release.

Moreover you might like to inspect the patches we used at

  http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/amide/trunk/debian/patches/

  deprecated-libav.patch: In case you might like to switch to latest version
                          of libav this might be helpful

  gcc-4.8_format-security.patch: Some potential security issues.


Hope this helps and thanks for providing amide as free software

     Andreas.
