Final Comment

Thanks for your diligence in preparing this initial release of hyprshade!

I've looked through the source and found a few things that need a quick
fixup:

First, there's a verbatim accuracy issue in debian/copyright. The
copyright notice must exactly mirror what's in the upstream LICENSE
file. Currently, you have "2023-2026 John Bernard loqusion@gmail.com",
but the source only contains "Copyright (c) 2023 loqusion". Please
update debian/copyright to match the source string exactly.

Second, the shaders in the shaders/ directory have mixed origins that
aren't documented in debian/copyright:

  • blue-light-filter.glsl: Includes "colorTemperatureToRGB" from Benjamin
    'BeRo' Rosseaux (CC0 1.0).
  • vibrance.glsl: Is a port of the SweetFX Vibrance shader by Christian
    'CeeJay.dk' Schjeldahl (MIT/Expat).

Finally, I noticed some very large PNG assets in .github/assets/ (totaling
about 39MB). Are you sure you want to have these large PNG files in the
source package?

Once those are addressed, this should be good to go.
