My canonical Debian contact would be gh...@debian.org but this other address is fine as well (also, I'm not subscribed to debian-mentors). Sorry if you had to waste your time for the inactive email address thing. > https://mentors.debian.net/package/hiredis > > No response from them yet, but if you're out there I figure you may want to > know so there's no duplication of effort here. I've looked into the package and it mostly looks good. In the other email you mentioned that this is supposed to fix bug #717611 but there's no mention of it in the changelog. Usually, when an entry in the changelog fixes a bug filed in the BTS, you should also mention the bug number so that a) people reading the changelog can trace the fix back to the bug report and b) when the bug number is listed in the changelog (with a "special" syntax), the original report is automatically closed when the package is uploaded (so that you don't have to do it manually). See [0] for more info. If you use the git-dch/gbp-dch script in the git-buildpackage package to generate the changelog, you can also add a special meta-tag in the git commit listing the bugs fixed by that commit, and they will automatically show up in the changelog with the correct syntax when git-dch is run. Have a look at the "META TAGS" section in the git-dch/gbp-dch(1) man page. A final suggestion: you should not create the debian/* tags in the git repository before the package is uploaded, otherwise (as in this case) you may have to delete the tag if you need to make any modifications suggested by a sponsor. (also, there's no need to upload to mentors.debian.net a fixed package, git is fine for me). And thanks for your contribution :) Cheers [0] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#upload-bugfix -- perl -E '$_=q;$/= @{[@_]};and s;\S+;<inidehG ordnasselA>;eg;say~~reverse'
