Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.4.3-1 of my package "libdebug". This is an attempt to adopt the package, turn it into a non-native one, become upstream, bring the Debian packaging up to the current standards and best practices, and fix the single outstanding bug. It's a simple library written in C which provides logging and memory debugging routines, it has been in Debian since 2002, and it could use a little TLC :)
It builds these binary packages: libdebug0 - Memory leak detection system and logging library libdebug0-dev - Development files for the debug library I'm aware that it would be better for the -dev package to be named just libdebug-dev, but I've decided not to change that in my first adoption upload. Of course, if an interested mentor thinks that it would be preferable to change it right away, I could do that, too. The package has been tested with lintian and pbuilder. The upload would fix these bugs: 437346 (nostrip), 499260 (ITA) The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libdebug/libdebug_0.4.3-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. JFYI, here's my adoption changelog entry: libdebug (0.4.3-1) unstable; urgency=low * New maintainer. Closes: #499260 * Override a "shlib calls exit" lintian warning - this is a debugging library, it is supposed to exit on grave errors. * Add a symbols file starting at libdebug0-0.4.2 obtained from mole. * Make this a non-native package. * Add a watch file. * Convert the copyright file to the machine-readable format and add my copyright notice. * Add the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser control fields. * Bump the debhelper compatibility version to 7: - add misc:Depends to the binary package * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1: - use binary:Version instead of hardcoding the dependencies between the binary packages - support "nostrip" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #437346 - add the Homepage control field * Build with lots of compiler warning flags. * Build with -Werror if "werror" is in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. * Enable build hardening unless "nohardening" is in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. * Remove the unused debian/Makefile. * Remove debian/libdebug0.postinst - dh_makeshlibs takes care of this. * Do not try to clean the source in the "build" target, it's upstream's job now. * Use dh_install instead of dh_movefiles. * Minimize the rules file using debhelper override targets. * Pass prefix correctly during the install phase now that upstream supports DESTDIR in the canonical way. -- Peter Pentchev <r...@ringlet.net> Thu, 28 May 2009 16:02:51 +0300 G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@space.bg r...@freebsd.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence is false.
