[Bug 185810] Re: [needs-packaging] Art of Illusion - Easy to use 3D modeling studio

[Daniel Holbach]

A few comments when reviewing the package: 
 - could artofillusion.sh and build.xml be made part of a patch (in debian/patches) or somehow else placed in the debian/ directory?
 - Could you make "(Closes: LP:#185810)" be "(LP: #185810)" in debian/changelog?
 - you could set debian/source/format to "3.0 (quilt)"
 - can you have a closer look at the licenses of the files again? some are GPL (v2), others are GPL (v2 or later)
   This snippet could be useful: for i in `find . -type f`; do licensecheck $i; done
 - current Standards-Version is 3.9.5
 - a debian/watch would be nice to have
 - The synopsis (first line in the package "Description:" field, the short description) ends with a full stop "." character.
 - empty directories
   usr/share/lib/artofillusion/HelpPlugin/AOIHelp/helpset/FurtherHelp/images/
   usr/share/lib/artofillusion/HelpPlugin/AOIHelp/helpset/HowTo/images/

   usr/share/lib/artofillusion/Scripts/Objects/
   usr/share/lib/artofillusion/Scripts/Startup/
   usr/share/lib/artofillusion/Scripts/Tools/
 - maybe an artofillusion-common (or -data) (arch: all) package would be useful to ship everything that's in usr/share (16M)
 - manpage for usr/bin/artofillusion would be nice to have
 - LICENSE contains lots of ^M chars

Of the above the debian/copyright review is the most important. A lot of
other things are nice to have.
