Dear mentors, I'd like to bring your attention again to my newly uploaded package "histring" (I'll keep reposting this request regularly in hoping it will catch someone's attention eventually).
It was already *lintian clean*, and without any build problems when first uploaded (Ref http://mentors.debian.net/package/histring), then later passed through another round of review, and all the found issues have been fixed already. So, please, you don't need to spend much time on this, other than uploading. Here is my "sales-pitch" again: histring is a general purpose highlighting tool that works with arbitrary input text file (e.g. all sorts of log files), and highlight different parts in different colours (e.g., warnings and errors are highlighted with different colours). You can use this single small tool to replace all kinds of special purpose log parsing tools, and it can do much more, like highlighting several things in different colours while reading a long article, or highlighting results from vcsdiff, etc. E.g., http://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/highlighting-strings-in-text-output-with-histring/ Once again, I am looking for a sponsor for my newly upgraded package "histring". * Package name : histring Version : 1.1.1-1 * URL : https://github.com/suntong001/histring * License : GPL-2.0+ Section : utils It builds those binary packages: histring - highlight strings using ANSI terminal escape sequences To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/histring Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/histring/histring_1.1.1-1.dsc More information about hello can be obtained from http://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/highlighting-strings-in-text-output-with-histring/ Once again, here are the issues that have been fixed for the review: > Hi! I'm not a DD, so I can't sponsor your package, but here are some > things that I've noticed: > > * It may be a good idea to make releases as tarballs still, instead of > just making Debian releases, so that other distros can benefit as well. > > * As far as I can see, you can fix "deprecated-configure-filename". All > you would need to do is change the name of configure.in to configure.ac. > > * Unless you have a compelling reason, the priority of the package (in > d/control) should be "optional", not "extra". > > * This isn't important, but it would be nice if you put the histring > manpage outside of the Debian directory when you make your next upstream > release. This way, other distros and people who build from source will > also benefit from the manpage. > > * There are a few minor grammatical errors in histring --help: > "useage" should be "usage" > "your self" should be "yourself" "hilighting" should be "highlighting" > > Good luck getting your package into Debian! > > Riley Baird Thanks & Best Regards, Tong Sun -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
