Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "desktopfolder"

 * Package name    : desktopfolder
   Version         : 1.1.0-2
   Upstream Author : José Amuedo Salmerón joseamu...@gmail.com
 * URL             : https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder
 * License         : GPL-3+
   Section         : x11

  It builds those binary packages:

    desktopfolder - Organize your desktop with panels, notes and photos

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/desktopfolder


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/desktopfolder/desktopfolder_1.1.0-2.dsc

 Notes:

This is preemptive upload.  I noticed that the experimental repo has uplifted
to using vala 0.44.  DesktopFolder does not build with this version of vala.

Rather than wait for a FTBFS type bug report when unstable is uplifted
with a newer toolchain, please can this upload be accepted.  This
includes one patch which I developed a few months ago and has been
accepted & uploaded to the upstream repo (commit detailed in the patch
header)

I have built via sbuild on the current unstable repo i.e. using vala
0.42.  The binary
produced was tested ok.  I then rebuilt the binary using experimental
& vala 0.44 and retested the installation and capability.

My sbuild is configured to run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built
source.  One
Information lintian remains - missing autopkgtest.  I dont consider it
necessary for such a test to be defined.

If appropriate I would like to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)


  Changes since the last upload:

   * Bugfix release
    - resolve FTBFS with vala 0.44
      0001-Fix-compilation-issues-with-vala-0.44.patch


  Regards,
   David Mohammed
