Looking for a sponsor for translate-docformat
Hi, I'm looking for a sponsor for the package translate-docformat which is orphaned. Description: any-to-any document translation system This is a command-line front end to many document format translation programs to facilitate the translation of documents from one format to another. Currently it supports major formats like the docbook, linuxdoc, debiandoc, and TeX, translating to HTML and ps and text. If you are interested you can take a look at: http://studwww.ugent.be/~lukclaes/debian/ Kind regards, Luk Claes PS: I have changed the bug title to ITA. PS2: lintian has no complaints. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I've had a look at this. It's generally okay and I will be happy to sponsor it for you. There are just two points I'd like to clear up first: 1: Why is it a Debian native package? I know that it already *was* a Debian native package before it was orphaned, but should it still be? I personally don't see any reason not to split it to diff.gz and orig.tar.gz (except *possibly* that it's such a small package anyway, but that's not a good enough reason to keep it Debian native IMO). If you can come up with a decent rationale for this, then it really doesn't matter, but I'd like to hear the rationale. I know it has fairly debian specific uses (debiandoc-sgml) but should it really be a Debian-only package? 2: N: Processing source package translate-docformat (version 0.5) ... W: translate-docformat source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.5.6 N: N: The source package refers to a 'Standards-Version' that is starting to N: get out of date, compared to current Policy. You can safely ignore N: this warning, but please consider updating the package to current N: Policy. We're up to version 3.5.10 of policy now as I recall. You should think about going through and making sure the whole package adheres to latest policy and bump the standards version. This isn't a bar to me uploading it, but it's something you should be aware of. Basically provide me either a decent rationale for having it in Debian native format, or redo it with orig.tar.gz and diff.gz and I'll sponsor it for you.

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-resources.en.html#s-core-devel-mailing-lists Which reads: 4.1.2 Core development mailing lists The core Debian mailing lists that developers should use are: * debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org, used to announce important things to developers.
