Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hadith": * Package name : hadith Version : 0.1.0-1 Upstream contact : Masroor Ahmad <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/masroorahmd/fortune-hadith * License : CC0-1.0, public-domain, GPL-3.0+ * Vcs : https://github.com/masroorahmd/fortune-hadith Section : games The source builds the following binary packages: hadith - sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw), in the shape of fortune fortunes-hadith - sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) - data files for fortune To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/hadith/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hadith/hadith_0.1.0-1.dsc Changes for the initial release: hadith (0.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * Initial release. (Closes: #1143254) - "The Sayings of Muhammad" (Suhrawardy, 1905), 443 sayings, public domain, parsed and proofread against the archive.org scan. - Ships two cookie files: the modernised English as the default, and the 1905 wording unaltered beside it. - Split into hadith (the command) and fortunes-hadith (the data), as bible-kjv splits from bible-kjv-text. Since the reviewable part of a data package is its copyright file, the short version of it: * The text is "The Sayings of Muhammad", Abdullah al-Mamun al-Suhrawardy, published 1905, author died 1935. Public domain in the United States (published pre-1930) and in the EU and the UK (70 years p.m.a., elapsed end of 2005). * The source scan is of a later reprint. Only the 1905 sayings are taken from it; the reprint's own preface and introduction are still in copyright and are excluded by the parser. * The modernisation of the Victorian English is my own work, dedicated to the public domain under CC0-1.0. The 1905 wording ships unaltered beside it, so the whole of the change is a diff. * Packaging and tooling are GPL-3.0+. debian/copyright accounts for every file, and DATA-LICENSE.md in the source states the same per file in prose. Two things that may look like defects and are deliberate, both commented where they live: * debian/control keeps Priority and Rules-Requires-Root although dpkg 1.22.13 defaults them. Current lintian reports them as redundant, but only at pedantic level, while older lintian warns on their absence. * The cookie files are not shipped ready-made; debian/rules builds them from corpus/*.jsonl with a stdlib-only Python script, no network. lintian --profile debian --pedantic reports no error and no warning, only those two pedantic tags. Prior art for the shape: display-dhammapada and bible-kjv are both in main on a public-domain declaration for their text, and the split into a command package plus a data package follows bible-kjv / bible-kjv-text. Regards, -- Masroor Ahmad
