Looking for a sponsor for axel v1.0b-7 (ITA, repackage, bug fixes)
Hi, I am (still) looking for a long-term sponsor for "axel" (v1.0b-7). I have had an offer for help since my last request [1] over a month ago, but haven't heard back in over two weeks. the following changes [2] have been made to the package: [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2007/11/msg00208.html [2] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/axel/unstable/?op=log - Use debhelper for packaging - Bump up Standards-Version to 3.7.3 - There are no changes outside the debian directory now (all patches are in debian/patches) - Patch to make axel-kapt use x-terminal-emulator instead of a hardcoded terminal program - Patch to fix lintian warnings on axel-kapt Desktop file (and make sure that it passes desktop-file-validate). - Use simple kaptain pop-ups for the Help and Bug Report (earlier it would try to invoke kmail). - Hermann J. Beckers was kind enough to update his earlier de.po file. I've included that in the package. - All the lintian informational messages are also fixed. That apart, v1.0b-4 has fixes for multiple important bugs. Thanks to kmap, mario for comments earlier, further comments are welcome :-). I would be glad if someone can sponsor an upload. The package can be found on mentors.d.n [3] [3] http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=axel Cheers, Giridhar PS: There hasn't been an upload since v1.0b-4, so please use a -v1.0b-3 option to dpkg-buildpackage for generating the changes file. -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
adasockets, LIBVERSIONINFO and SONAMEs
Hi, In Adasockets 1.8.4.7-4, I modified configure.ac to set LIBVERSIONINFO=1:0:0 because of GNAT 4.1's new ABI. Upstream had it set to 0:0:0. I'm working on 1.8.6 from upstream: it now has LIBVERSIONINFO=1:0:0. But now when I build it, the SONAME is set to libadasockets.0 instead of .1. In 1.8.4.7-4, the SONAME is libadasockets.so.1 (as I expect). A plain (non-Debian) build of 1.8.6 also ends up with a SONAME of .0. This can be downloaded from http://www.rfc1149.net/download/adasockets/adasockets-1.8.6.tar.gz What have I done wrong? I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm stuck.

RFS: libdaemon v0.12-1 (ITA, packaging updates)
Hi All,
I am looking for a long-term sponsor for v0.12-1 of libdaemon. The
upload would fix #452187 (ITA).
Even though only an ITA will be closed by the upload, there are plenty
of packaging changes that I did in this version:
- Add Homepage: and Vcs-*: fields to the control file. Packaging in
maintained on svn.debian.org in collab-maint/ext-main/libdaemon
- Bump up Standards-Version to 3.7.3. Move away from ${Source-Version}
to ${binary:Version}
- Update debian/compat to 5 and Build-Depend on debhelper (>= 5)
- Provide a libdaemon0-dbg package with the debugging symbols in it.
- Added a debian/watch file
- In the build target, modify the doxygen generated man pages to prevent
lintian I: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
- Use .docs and .examples file rather than specifying the files
explicitly them in debian/rules. Install the upstream README file as
changelog
libdaemon0 is fairly important and has a few packages Depends-ing on it.
The package is lintian clean. and is available on mentors.d.n [1].
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Giridhar
PS: Despite the -1 Debian version, this isn't a new upstream release for
Debian. The 0.12 upstream release was NMUed as v0.12-0.1.

Shouldn't the effect of '-idoc/adasockets.info' be done inside debian/rules so that anyone can build the same package without the option? I've not found an obvious way. But deleting it in the clean target seems a good workaround, as dpkg-source ignores the deletion, and then we don't get lots of spurious changes from regenerating that file.
