Bug Description
I'd like to request inclusion of the Qreator package in universe.
# About Qreator
- A QR code creator
- GPL-3, written in Python and GTK+, uses python-
- Home: https:/
- Stable releases PPA: https:/
- Available in extras for Ubuntu 12.04, but since the ARB process is ongoing changes due to the new app upload story, I'd like to get Qreator available in universe for Q, R and S
# About this request
- I've read the instructions at https:/
- I've had an initial chat with MOTUs on #ubuntu-motu
- I'd like to eventually get Qreator into Debian. However, that requires some work in the code to remove Ubuntu-specific dependencies (e.g. it uses the Software Centre database API, see bug 1181723) that would need to be disabled first. That will still take me a while, and in the meantime I'd like to make Qreator available to users nevertheless.
- .dsc to get sponsored: https:/
- I'm on #ubuntu-motu and other Ubuntu-related channels, generally on CET times (nick: dpm)

Here goes a quick review,
1) I don't see any reason that this should be a native package. You'd be better off using '3.0 quilt' for the debian/ source/ format
2) debian/changelog:
- The upload target should be saucy
- The version should be 13.05.1-0ubuntu1
2) debian/control: /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebianMaint ainerField)
- software-center is listed twice in the Depends
- The Standards-Version should be 3.9.4
- Maintainer should be Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
(see https:/
- You should probably drop the XB fields related to extras.
- You might want to expand the description a bit.
3) It would be nice to have a debian/watch file even though you're upstream. See: developer. ubuntu. com/packaging/ html/debian- dir-overview. html#the- watch-file
http://
4) debian/copyright has a few minor issues: www.debian. org/doc/ packaging- manuals/ copyright- format/ 1.0/
- You don't need to list "Copyright" multiple times in the same paragraph. (See example)
- You should include a license snippet, not just a link to the common-licenses file. (See example)
- See: http://
