Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Hello fine mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for "rutorrent"

Package name    : rutorrent
Version         : 3.7-1
Upstream Author : Novik <novi...@gmail.com>
URL             : https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent
License         : GPL-3
Section         : net

-------------------------------------------

It installs the files for the front-end in:

  /etc/ruTorrent  - server files

  /usr/share/ruTorrent  - user-set configuration files chmod'd to a+rwX

I also provided a detailed manpage for the configuration, including how to
configure from scratch using nginx.

lintian is throwing the following 'serious' errors that I haven't been
entirely sure what to do with:

  jquery.flot.js source missing - this file has an inlined function of 3134
characters. Unfortunately this cannot be corrected in a straightforward
manner because the flot library has not been maintained since 2014.

The other two errors are because the source files have lines longer than
expected (288 characters and 553 characters), but these are just long lines.

I also was not able to create an override for any of these lintian errors;
overriding any of these generated an error that source-is-missing was
expecting binary files and I gave it source files.

There are also a few warnings about using embedded js libraries. The
versions included are much older than the libjs versions available in the
Debian packaging system. Thus it may take some conversations with upstream
to integrate these wishlist items.

I am also experiencing a small error with 'watch.' uscan -vv outputs:

  uscan debug: Checking href :S2EngEditor.zip
  uscan debug: Checking href :S2SteamPatch.zip
  uscan debug: Checking href :plugins-3.6.tar.gz
  uscan debug: Checking href :plugins/

  uscan debug: Checking href :rutorrent-3.6.tar.gz
  uscan warn: In debian/watch no matching files for watch line

ru[tT]orrent[-_]?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*)(?i)\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|zip)

I'm not sure why:
  ru[tT]orrent@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
would not match any of these files.
