RFS: herculesstudio -- Hercules gui interface

[Liang Guo]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "herculesstudio".

Package name: herculesstudio
Version: 1.2.0-1
Upstream Author: Jacob Dekel <***@mvsdasd.org >
URL: http://www.mvsdasd.org/hercstudio/
License: GPL
Programming Lang : C++
Section : otherosfs

It builds these binary packages:
herculesstudio - Hercules gui interface

I overrided debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error lintian warning, for before
build, Makefile does not exist.

The upload would fix these bugs: 585510

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
HerculesStudio is the first gui frontend in Linux, it is easy to use, I use it
to study IBM z series mainframe knowledge, I think it use useful for others
too.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/herculesstudio
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/herculesstudio/herculesstudio_1.2.0-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards

[Bastian Blank]

I overrided debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error lintian warning, for before
build, Makefile does not exist.

The error is real, please fix it.

Some other things:
- Overriding the MAKE variable is not correct.
- Use dh_install
- It considers itself non-working with the current hercules package,
please provide patches.

I removed this lintian warning, it's fine now.

- Use dh_install

I don't clearly understand your meaning, how should I use dh_install ?

I've submit a bug 585508[1] on hercules to ask the maintainer to enable
external GUI, but get no response until now. should I do a NMU ?

I've reuploaded herculesstudio to mentors, would you like to check it
again? it can be downloaded from

dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/herculesstudio/herculesstudio_1.2.0-1.dsc
