Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for package "usbrelay": * Package name : usbrelay Version : 1.0-1 Upstream Author : Darryl Bond <darryl.b...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/darrylb123/usbrelay * License : GPL-2+, CC-BY-SA-4.0 * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/wentasah/usbrelay Section : electronics The package is officially maintained by DD Jan Dittberner, but he seems to be no longer active, at least with this package. I contribute to the development of the upstream package and from time to time, users report problems that are caused by too old version of the package in the Debian archive. Having more recent version in Debian would be beneficial. The updated package is based on the version already in Debian and introduces two additional binary packages to cover new functionality provided by upstream. I tried to prepare the updated package as well as I can, but this is my first attempt to prepare official Debian packaging so I'm open to suggestions for improvement. The packaging is inspired by official documentation as well as by Fedora packaging, which was created recently by other contributors. The source builds the following binary packages: usbrelay - USB HID relay driver python3-usbrelay - Python bindings for USB HID relay driver usbrelayd - MQTT client for USB HID relay driver To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/usbrelay/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/usbrelay/usbrelay_1.0-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: usbrelay (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * New upstream version 1.0 * Drop "v" prefix from the watch file * Drop 0001-make-CFLAGS-LDFLAGS-and-CPPFLAGS-customizable.patch * Update gcc9.patch (Closes: Bug#916557) * Pass Debian package version to the build system * Use upstream man page rather than Debian one * Override lintian soname error * Add python3-usbrelay package * Add usbrelayd package providing interface to MQTT * Update udev rules * Bump debhelper compatibility to 13 (no changes) * Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.0 (no changes) * Update copyright information * Announce the hardware support using AppStream * Add usbrelayd(8) manpage * Fix spelling error Additional comments can be found in some commit messages at https://salsa.debian.org/wentasah/usbrelay/-/commits/master.
