Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important Hi mentors
Looking for a sponsor for my package "distcc": http://mentors.debian.net/package/distcc http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/distcc/distcc_3.1-5.dsc It has not been actively maintained for some time and the maintainer has filed an ITO[1]. I have previously been sponsored with an NMU on the package and am now looking to adopt it. The current package is starting to age and contains many bugs. I have updated to debhelper compat level 9 "dh $@" style, and cleaned most lintian issues. Upstream has a new release candidate which I intend to upload to experimental after this. I have cherry-picked some fixes for IPv6 support from that version. There are also some patches and other issues remaining on the BTS, the current changes are quite numerous so thought it best to push the work done thus far. The changelog entry is large as I have tried to include all changes no matter how small, it may be more useful to drop entries such as "use set -e". Here it is: distcc (3.1-5) unstable; urgency=low * new maintainer (Closes: #664497) * update Standards-Version to 3.9.3: - debian/distcc.init.d: start action exits successfully if daemon is already running [9.3.2]; postinst will succeed on upgrades in this case also (Closes: #620773, LP: #822887) * switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format * remove Build-Depends: dpatch * add Build-Depends: autotools-dev * debian/rules: - use debhelper compat level 9 - reduce to "dh $@" style - fixes FTBFS caused by previous build-arch target (Closes: #666383) - enabled bindnow hardening (no PIE yet, it causes build failure) * debian/control: - added Homepage field - distcc: description starts lowercase * debian/distcc.config: - renamed from debian/config - use "set -e" - include missing #DEBHELPER# token * debian/distcc.init.d: - added stop levels 0, 6 - unset TMPDIR before starting the daemon to avoid problems with root's value for this being unwritable by the distccd user; to provide distccd with a sensible TMPDIR put it in /etc/default/distcc (Closes: #514556) * debian/distcc.postinst: - use "set -e" instead of "#!/bin/sh -e" - drop extra calls to "sed ... /etc/default/distcc" for every field that only removed whitespace which would be removed anyway when updating the fields - always create distccd user if it does not exist (Closes: #548053) * debian/distccmon-gnome.menu: - changed title to "distcc monitor" - dropped incorrect hint tag * debian/patches: - 06_set-pythonpath-securely.patch: contains fix for #605168 which was previously applied directly to the source - 07_preferred-user.patch: starting the daemon as root causes it to change user, which should be to "distccd" in Debian - 08_gnome-data-public-dirs.patch: install desktop and icon files for distccmon-gnome /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps respectively (LP: #512288) - 09_rename-pump.patch: rename the "pump" command to "distcc-pump" in all references such as help text, man pages, etc. (Closes: #594083) - 10_consecutive-preprocessor-options.patch: correctly count preprocessor options (Closes: #626926) - 11_lsdistcc-man.patch: add man page for lsdistcc utility * debian/watch: - added remote watch file * source/config.{guess,sub}: - update with autotools-dev during build instead of directly patching the source tree * use dpkg triggers to dynamically generate/update compiler links based on the ccache packaging. Thanks to Daniel Schaal (Closes: #651670) * cherry-pick upstream fixes for IPv6 support (Closes: #452835): - r650_ipv6-zeroconf.patch: IPv6 patch for Zeroconf and IPv6 literals in hosts file (Closes: #481951, LP: #593047) - r673_zeroconf-nodups.patch: remove duplicate hosts from the Zeroconf list (LP: #809534) - r678_distcc-v6-acl-2.patch: IPv6 support for access control * cherry-pick other upstream fixes: - r732_distccmon-gnome.patch: avoid client list growing indefinitely (LP: #521165) Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
