RFS: blam (updated package)
Hello, I'm looking for a sponsor for blam version 1.8.6. Blam is a GTK/GNOME feed reader whose main features are theming support and a simple interface. As of this version it runs completely in managed mode. The package appears lintian-clean and builds the following binary packages: blam - a simple RSS aggregator for GNOME This upload would fix the following bugs: 292461 319302 326993 342226 473626 480790. Bugs #473626 and #480790 are release-critical, though the package was removed from lenny some time ago (precisely because of this) so it's not that impressive. You can get the package at mentors.d.n: dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/blam/blam_1.8.6-1.dsc I'd be glad if someone could upload this pacakge for me. cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto | http://cmartin.tk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

What is the upstream version? Has it changed through all this? If this is the second (or subsequent) release of a particular upstream version, why is the release number still “1”? You should increment the release number (by starting a new release section in the changelog) each time you begin work on a new release subsequent to one you've already uploaded, to allow different releases to be easily distinguished. -- \ “Sometimes I — no, I don't.” —Steven Wright | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This isn't custom - it is is the BSD 3-clause license. These license is considered as free. So it is possible that it can be included in main.

cracklib2 bashism in update-cracklib fixed
Hello release team, hello mentors,
the Ubuntu folks discovered a bug [1] in cracklib-runtime that turned
out to be caused by a bashism in its update-cracklib script. Steve
Langasek fixed the issue in the Ubuntu package and forwarded me a link
to the debdiff [2].
Unfortunately a new upstream version of cracklib2 has been created and
was uploaded to unstable recently, so I cannot simply go the way
through unstable. I don't want to introduce the new upstream release
in Lenny at this late point of the release cycle and you surely do not
want it too.
I prepared an upload to testing-proposed-updates that includes only
the fix for the bug mentioned above and the fix for the
cracklib-runtime's postinst "maintainer-script-ignores-error" fix that
I made in 2.8.13-1. I'm no DD so I need a sponsor to upload the
package. I put the package on mentors.debian.net [3]. The debdiff is
attached to this mail.
Will the package reach Lenny this way? If not, could anybody please
unblock it when it's uploaded?
Regards
Jan Dittberner

You've received correct responses (the license is effectively the same as the 3-clause BSD license, minus warranty disclaimer). If you have future questions about the DFSG-freeness of a work, a better forum to ask is the ‘debian-legal’ list. -- \ “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too | `\ much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.” | _o__)—Thomas Jefferson | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
