Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "freefoam" * Package name : freefoam Version : 0.1.2-1 Upstream Author : Michael Wild <them...@users.sourceforge.net> * URL : http://freefoam.sourceforge.net * License : GPL-3+ (+GFDL-NIV-1.2, permissive, PSF-2, LGPL-2.1+, BSD-4-clause, GPL-2) Section : science It builds those binary packages: freefoam - programs for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) freefoam-dbg - programs for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - debugging symbols freefoam-dev-doc - software for Computational Fluid Dynamics - developers documentation freefoam-user-doc - software for Computational Fluid Dynamics - user documentation libfreefoam - libraries for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) libfreefoam-dbg - libraries for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - debugging symbols libfreefoam-dev - libraries for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - development files python-freefoam - software for Computational Fluid Dynamics - Python files python3-freefoam - software for Computational Fluid Dynamics - Python3 files To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/freefoam Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freefoam/freefoam_0.1.2-1.dsc More information about FreeFOAM can be obtained from http://freefoam.sourceforge.net. Changes since the last upload: * [84c7923] New upstream version 0.1.2 * [162a878] Removed debian/patches/spelling.diff. Fixed in upstream. * [881573d] Removed debian/patches/copyright.diff. This information belongs into debian/copyright * [d834177] Removed debian/patches/userd.diff, upstream removed that part * [86c646e] Build man-pages from source, remove pre-compiled copies in debian/man1 * [0452a37] Build HTML version of UserGuide, depend on libjs-mathjax * [e0e97d7] Added missing build-deps: graphviz * [0a2c68d] Move to straight dh sequencer with parallel builds enabled - The debhelper version present in Ubuntu precise doesn't contain the fix for the CPPFLAGS variable being ignored by CMake (#668813), so also add the manual workaround, just to make sure. - Removed build-depends on cdbs - Bumped minimum required version of debhelper to 7.0.50~. - Keep dh_installchangelogs from trying to install doc/changes/ as a file * [63668d2] Split off Python module into python{,3}-freefoam, move to dh_python* - Changed build-dependency from python-all to simply python added new - Build-depends on python3 - Add X-Python{,3}-Version tags * [59cd2fe] Install private binaries into /usr/lib/freefoam/bin * [2a39577] Fix bogus lintian override * [1240767] Cleanup debian/control, fix Homepage/Source entries * [703e36b] Make debian/copyright complete, cleanup * [b87d5f9] Do not version plugins directory * [037f959] Properly assign files to correct package in debian/*.install. Requires new build-depends on bash-completion. * [2bdf7d5] Link docs of freefoam-{dev,user}-docs into /usr/share/docs/freefoam * [36a0288] Added debian/patches/disable-git-version-check.diff. Instead of querying git about the build number, use the Debian version. * [981346d] Override warnings about useless ldconfig calls * [e4c2b99] Add Michael Wild to the uploaders * [02f2ab1] Added debian/patches/fix-doc-urls-and-references-for-debian.diff. Update the installation directories accordingly in debian/freefoam-*-doc.install. * [63e9652] Added debian/patches/remove-hard-coded-python-modules-path.diff. For the build to work it is now required to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable in debian/rules. * [06d66a3] Add multiarch support * [658f053] Create debug-symbols packages {lib,}freefoam-dbg * [13446a4] Build hardened libraries and executables. This requires CMake/FOAMUtilities.cmake to be patched, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the PIE flags to the executables only in CMake. - Added d/p/add-DEB_EXE_COMPILE_LINKER_FLAGS-to-build-system.diff - Added a build-depends on hardening-includes Gerber van der Graaf, who originally packaged the freefoam-0.1.0-1 package asked me to add myself directly to the uploaders and asking for sponsorship instead of going through him. I think with the modifications I made I fixed some important bugs, some of which I would consider to be RC. E.g. 0.1.0-1 contained some non-free source and documentation files. Also, the documentation as it is currently installed is pretty buggy and does not work as expected. Also, the *.so symlinks where not split off into the libfreefoam-dev package and the Python files where not separated into python* packages. Some of these bugs I fixed directly in the upstream project, resulting in FreeFOAM-0.1.2, a pure bug-fix version. Then I imported this new upstream release, and applied all my fixes to the package, whose changelog you can see above. Now, my question is how I should proceed properly. Is it acceptable to upload freefoam-0.1.2-1 despite the freeze given that the new version is only a bug-fix release?
