Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for my package, envctrl. I previously posted asking for a sponsor and got some useful feedback, but nobody was able to sponsor it. It is a somewhat difficult package to sponsor since it contain kernel modules which only work with hardware found in specific systems and can only be built on SPARC64, but I'd appreciate it if people could take another look.
If necessary I can provide a sponsor with shell access to my sparc64 box for testing. Package name: envctrl Upstream Authors: Eric Brower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, David Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.david-web.co.uk/index.php?p=envctrl License: GPL Section: misc Programming Lang: C, SPARC ASM Description: Sources for the envctrl driver This package provides the source code for the envctrl kernel modules. These modules support the environmental monitoring hardware found in Sun's E250 and E450 servers. It builds these binary packages: envctrl-source - Sources for the envctrl driver The upload would fix these bugs: 433343 Here's the package: - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/envctrl/envctrl_0+svn136-1.dsc And a modules package generated by modules-assistant for reference: http://www.david-web.co.uk/download/envctrl-modules-2.6.22.1_0+svn136-1_sparc.deb A few notes/questions: * the package is lintian clean, as are -modules packages generated from envctrl-source * even though envctrl-source is a source package, I have specified the architecture as sparc because: - i) the hardware these kernel modules support is only ever found on sparc ii) the source contains some sparc ASM * the modules only compile with kernels >= 2.6.20 - is there some way I can specify this within debian/rules? Thanks in advance, David. -- David Johnson www.david-web.co.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
