Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the package "gmpc", which is a GTK frontend to the popular Music Player Daemon (mpd).
This is an adoption and the ITA bug is here[1]. I uploaded the new version on
mentors[2].
Here is the debian/changelog entry :
* New maintainer (Closes: #615245)
* Add a manpage for gmpc-remote-stream(1)
* Split architecture-independent data into gmpc-data
* Packaging changes:
- Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format
- Add watchfile
- Bum Standards-Version to 3.9.2 (no changes)
- Remove build-dep on quilt
* Build changes:
- Explicitly add libraries to fix FTBFS with new toolchain
(Closes: #554541, thanks to Mahyuddin Susanto)
- Add -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS
- Code is now generated from vala at build time
* debian/control:
- Replace "Conflicts: gmpc-plugins" with "Breaks:"
- Better short description for gmpc-dbg
- Longer extended description for gmpc-dev
* patches:
- Fix several typos in log messages
- Fix a wrong TH line in gmpc-remote(1)
I wanted to make the package as lintian clean as possible. When modifying the
original vala source code, I noticed that the C code was failing to regenerate.
I had to pick several patches upstream to fix this.
As a large portion of the package was architecture-independent, it has also been
split.
The others warnings were about duplicated/too short package
descriptions and a few typos. The only remaining warning is the
following one :
I: gmpc-data: debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk
I am not sure how to tackle it as it refers to an old (2006) entry in
NEWS.Debian. The two options I see are :
- edit the entry to remove asterisks
- delete NEWS.Debian (it contains only this old entry)
I believe that the first one is better, but I can't find the relevant
information in policy nor devref.
As mentioned in the .dsc file, the packaging is available on git[3] if you want
to see more details.
Please let me know if you need more information.
