Hello Martin-Éric,
I reviewed esteid-browser-plugin from the NEW queue and have to reject
it due to several reasons:
* The so-called orig.tar.gz (4.2 MB) is not at all what upstream
ships [1]. The latter actually looks quite reasonable, while the
uploaded orig.tar.gz is a huge conglomerate of that plus loads of
other sources.
There is no get-orig-source nor instructions how to build this
tarball.
* The custom orig.tar.gz contains copies of boost, cmake, log4cplus,
and other sources. None of this seems necessary, as all those are
already packaged in the archive.
* The orig.tar.gz ships binary Windows exectutables (cmake/*.exe),
and the cmake/ directory does not come with any license
information, thereby this is unredistributable.
* debian/copyright only gives licenses for /project/* (assuming this
means "projects/*") and /*. The latter would cover all the
other directories and embedded copied projects, but most of them
are not under LGPL.
Thanks,
Martin
