    • Upstream bug tracker: No serious bugs

    • Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ? No
    • Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? Is it enabled to run in the build ? No
  5. Standards compliance:

    • Lintian gives:

      W: libiptcdata source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.2 (current is 3.7.3)
      W: libiptcdata source: dpatch-build-dep-but-no-patch-list libiptcdata
