Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "packagekit".
* Package name : packagekit Version : 0.6.8-1 Upstream Author : Richard Hughes <rich...@hughsie.com> * URL : http://packagekit.org * License : GPLv2/LGPLv2 Section : admin It builds these binary packages: browser-plugin-packagekit - Plugin to install missing plugins using PackageKit gstreamer0.10-packagekit - GStreamer plugin to install codecs using PackageKit libpackagekit-glib2-14 - Library for accessing PackageKit using GLib libpackagekit-glib2-dev - Library for accessing PackageKit using GLib (development files) libpackagekit-qt-dev - Library for accessing PackageKit using Qt4 (development files) libpackagekit-qt14 - Library for accessing PackageKit using Qt4 packagekit - Provides a package management service packagekit-backend-apt - Python APT backend for PackageKit packagekit-backend-aptcc - C++ APT backend for PackageKit packagekit-backend-smart - Smart backend for PackageKit packagekit-bash-completion - Offer to install missing programs automatically packagekit-docs - Documentation for PackageKit packagekit-gtk-module - Install fonts automatically using PackageKit python-packagekit - PackageKit Python bindings The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 468132 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I follow the project since version 0.1.5 and develop some own software on to of the PackageKit library. I use PackageKit daily and I'm in contact with upstream. Note on PackageKit: PackageKit has Debconf support now (the APTcc backend has it) and supports some other functions requested for Debian, like solving the problem if a package installation requires a package removal etc. Nearly all problems some Debian devs named are fixed and PK ist ready for the repos. Kubuntu aleady uses it with great success. I recently updated the pkg at Debian Mentors. Specially for Debian, v.0.6.8 provides these changes: - aptcc: Improved user experience by setting subprogress on package installation/remove/update (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Disable auto remove by default (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Fix how downloads are emitted (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Forbid canceling while installing, the user might need to dpkg --configure -a on the cmd line (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Improved how packages are emited (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Improved logic for the updates category (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: make sure all downloaded packages emit FINISHED (Daniel Nicoletti) - aptcc: Show apt error message when we could not get the cache lock (Daniel Nicoletti) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/packagekit - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/packagekit/packagekit_0.6.7-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
