Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I seek a sponsor for my package "xtrs". * Package name : xtrs Version : 4.9d-1 Upstream Author : Tim Mann * URL : http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html * License : 2 different custom permissive licenses[1] Section : otherosfs It builds those binary packages: xtrs - emulator for TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P computers To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/xtrs Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/x/xtrs/xtrs_4.9d-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: * Merge new upstream release. + "Deleted all SIGIO code. The code was a kludge to begin with and it no longer worked with current X libraries and Linux kernels, causing xtrs to hang. It was also reported to cause hangs when xtrs was compiled for Windows using Cygwin. Thanks to Howard Pepper, Dennis Lovelady, Arumin Nueckel, Christopher Currie, and Joe Peterson for bug reports." (Closes: #511645) * Update README.Debian to refresh URLs and reflect developments in the TRS-80 retrocomputing enthusiast community over the past several years. * Implement debian/compare-copyright script. + Add "check" target to debian/rules to call the script. + Add debian/{no-,}copyright-info.expected files. * Migrate former contents of debian/checklist to debian/README.source. * Rewrite debian/copyright using machine-readable copyright info. * Migrate to new (to me) quilt-based Debian source format 3.0. + Migrate former contents of debian/patches to debian/patch/*; dropping patches now merged upstream. * Migrate former contents of debian/README.contrib-only to Disclaimer field of debian/copyright, and update discussion. * Stop shipping Tim Mann's TRS-80 FAQ document. It's great, but strictly speaking, it doesn't carry a license, I don't want to pester him to put one on it, and in any event it updates much more frequently than the xtrs software itself. Finally, I trust people to do web searches, and archive.org to stick around, more now than I did 19 years ago. * Write doc-base descriptions for the supplementary documentation in /usr/share/doc/xtrs. * Add check-source target to debian/rules to aid copyright meticulousness checking. * Add check-binary target to debian/rules to aid regression tesing. * Thanks to Christian Perrier, Hector Oron, Cyril Brulebois, and YunQiang Su for taking care of this package during my long absence. Regards, Branden [1] See attachment for gory details. The licenses have been recognized as DFSG-free for about 19 years. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: xtrs Source: http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html Disclaimer: Requires non-DFSG-free ROM images and/or operating systems to be useful for most purposes. . There is a freely-licensed boot ROM for Model 4P emulation provided with xtrs; however, this boot image can only be used to boot an operating system designed for the Model 4 (it is not sophisticated enough to load the BASIC interpreter ROM for Model III compatibility mode, provided on Model 4P TRSDOS disks as a file called MODELA/III). Since most users will likely be using this emulator to run proprietary legacy applications for the TRS-80 computers, I do not regard this exception as sufficient to recategorize xtrs for inclusion in main. . It is worth keeping an eye on projects like Contiki and FUZIX; if one of them becomes useful under xtrs, that would be an argument for moving xtrs to main. + http://www.contiki-os.org/ + https://github.com/EtchedPixels/FUZIX License: local:Timothy-Mann-xtrs-permissive-non-copyleft This software may be copied, modified, and used for any purpose without fee, provided that (1) the above copyright notice is retained, and (2) modified versions are clearly marked as having been modified, with the modifier's name and the date included.

They fall into various categories; for example: + Documentation for provided programs (e.g., cassette.man, hex2cmd.man); + Conversions of manual pages to plain text (e.g., cassette.txt, xtrs.txt); + Conversions of HTML documents to plain text (e.g., cpmutil.txt); + Standalone, miscellaneous documentation (README, dskspec.html); + Non-native object files made from in-tree source code (cd.cmd from cd.ccc); + Diskette image files for the emulator (cpmutil.dsk, utility.dsk); + Bitmapped character-cell fonts (perhaps not copyrightable) (trs_chars.c); + A translation of cassette [csh] to POSIX shell (cassette.sh); and + Material of doubtful copyrightability (a short hex patch, m1format.fix).
