RFS: mcron
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "mcron". * Package name: mcron Version : 1.0.5-1 Upstream Author : Dale Mellor * URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron * License : GPLv3 Section : utils It builds these binary packages: mcron - Guile-based program for running jobs at regular times Mcron can be a fully Vixie-compatible (aka legacy replacement) cron program. However, its configuration files can also be expressed as Guile, with all the power (and simplicity) that programming language delivers, and so can be infinitely flexible in the way it schedules processes to run in the future. This new Debian package presents mcron as a standalone program which is installed without interference alongside an existing cron system. It can be used by users without root privileges, hence presents no additional security risks. This is the first Debian package I've done, so I've been very careful and followed all the documentation, and I think you will find it immaculate in its presentation. The package is totally lintian clean; it was accepted as such on to the Debian distribution pool at the first attempt. The upload would fix these bugs: 585617 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I'm the upstream developer and maintainer of this official GNU package, people keep asking for this in Debian every time I make a GNU/Icewalkers/FreshmeatII announcement, and I'm keen to have this generally available in Debian so I don't have to keep going through hand-build rigmaroles to use it myself! If I feel happy about being a Debian package maintainer, I might consider taking my membership of the Debian project further... The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcron - - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcron/mcron_1.0.5-1.dsc I would be glad and very grateful if someone would check, test and upload this package for me.

Re: Can't push new mcron package to FTP
Ah right, now I see the problem. Thanks for the hint about the FTP team. Most likely my key is not, in fact, in the keyring, so my question to the mentors' list is, will somebody help me put the new release through please? It is needed w.r.t. bug #746006, and its release is holding up the upgrade from guile-1.8 to guile-2.0 in unstable. All help greatly appreciated, Dale On Thu, 2014-05-01 at 13:47 -0400, Paul Tagliamonte wrote: > This is a question for the ftpteam, but here's the reason why:: > > Apr 29 14:22:47 processing /mcron_1.0.7-1_i386.changes > Apr 29 14:22:47 GnuPG signature check failed on mcron_1.0.7-1_i386.changes > Apr 29 14:22:47 /mcron_1.0.7-1_i386.changes has bad PGP/GnuPG signature! > Apr 29 14:22:47 Removing /mcron_1.0.7-1_i386.changes, but keeping its > associated files for now. > Apr 30 14:22:42 Deleted stray file /mcron_1.0.7-1_i386.deb > Apr 30 14:22:42 Deleted stray file /mcron_1.0.7-1.dsc > Apr 30 14:22:42 Deleted stray file /mcron_1.0.7-1.debian.tar.gz > Apr 30 14:22:42 Deleted stray file /mcron_1.0.7.orig.tar.gz > > > Was it signed by a key in the keyring? > > Cheers, > Paul > > > On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 12:38 PM, wrote: > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Hello, a couple of days ago I uploaded a new version of > > mcron to the upload FTP server, and heard not a titter about > > it (it does not seem to have gone through).

Not sure what the etiquette is, but I'm still holding out for this to be uploaded; its delay is holding up the move from guile-1.8->guile-2.0 in testing.
