Hi mentors and mentees, [Sorry for the long mail, there are several issues/questions.]
I am looking for a thourough check of my packaging and preferably a sponsor for the new version 1:0.95.2-1 of my package "lesstif2" [0]. This new upstream version is only the incorporation of a lot of patches already incorporated in the current version of lesstif2 in Debian. Lesstif2 has been moved to collab-maint [1], because the original maintainer, Sam Hocevar, agreed that I could co-maintain lesstif2 with him. However, Sam Hocevar, hasn't responded to my last e-mails about checking the packaging and uploading. He previously suggested mailing the other collab-maint people in parallel, so that they could sponsor. I tried the collab-maint-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org email address, but that doesn't exist anymore. Now I am looking for the best way to ask for a check of the packaging. Would anybody know the way to reach the collab-maint people? Or is this list the most appropriate place anyway? In the latter case, do I understand correctly that mentors still want an upload to mentors.d.n? Just in case for the latter, I build the package and uploaded to m.d.n [2]. I would appreciate comments (changelog at the bottom of this mail [3]). lesstif2 builds these binary packages: lesstif-bin - user binaries for LessTif lesstif-doc - documentation for LessTif lesstif2 - OSF/Motif 2.1 implementation released under LGPL lesstif2-dbg - lesstif2 debugging files lesstif2-dev - development library and header files for LessTif 2.1 The upload would fix this bug: 409093 The package is NOT completely lintian free (39 times the next warning): """ W: lesstif-doc: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man3/<man>.3.gz around line <num>: table wider than line width """ To solve this I need to re-arrange a lot of tables. Does anybody know a nice way to order them? Currently it is like: Name Class Type Default Access -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- XtNx XtCPosition Position NULL CSG My suggestion would be something like (is this readable?): Name Class Type Default Access ------------------------------------------------------------- XtNx XtCPosition Position NULL CSG With kind regards Paul [0] LessTif, made by the Hungry Programmers, is a free (LGPL-ed) version of OSF/Motif; it aims ultimately at binary compatibility with Motif 2.1.
