Final Comment
Thanks for your diligence in bringing yq-go to the archive. I've
had another look through the source, and while it's mostly there,
I have to reject it for now because of a few minor metadata and
policy issues.
I noticed a slight slip in the way copyright statements are handled
in debian/copyright. The statements need to be reproduced
verbatim from the source headers to accurately reflect the upstream
notices. For instance, the notice for scripts/shunit2 should
include the "All Rights Reserved" portion, and the entry for
scripts/release-deb.sh should match the exact format of the
header, including the (C) symbol and email address.
This is also a bit of a DFSG problem regarding the embedded copy of
the shunit2 framework in scripts/shunit2. While it is correctly
licensed, Debian Policy §4.13 generally prefers using the packaged
version from the archive. If you find it necessary to bundle it,
please include a debian/README.source file that documents this
embedded copy and explains why the system-wide package isn't being
used instead.
Lastly, there are some formatting bits in the copyright file to
clean up. The Apache-2.0 license should have its own standalone
stanza at the bottom of the file that points to the common
licenses directory, rather than having the reference nested inside
the file stanza. I also noticed that the License: Expat string is
repeated as the first line of the license text block in the main
stanza, which should be removed.
Once these bits are polished, it should be ready for another look.
