Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for this small maintenance update to libvisual-plugins: * Package name: libvisual-plugins Version: 1:0.4.2+dfsg-6 * URL: https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual * Vcs: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins * Section: sound It builds this binary package: libvisual-0.4-plugins - audio visualization framework plugins The signed source package is available at: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libvisual-plugins/ Download it with: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libv/libvisual-plugins/libvisual-plugins_0.4.2+dfsg-6.dsc This revision upgrades debhelper-compat from 13 to 14, following Simon's review of the previous upload. It explicitly enables the single-binary sequence and moves the existing installation steps to before/after hooks. The German catalog is still regenerated, including with nocheck, and libtool .la files are still removed. It also records Applied-Upstream for the German translation patch: https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual/pull/428 Upstream merged it into 0.4.x on 3 October. The patch itself remains needed with the current 0.4.2 tarball; its content has not changed. There are no plugin code, translation, API/ABI, runtime dependency or plugin selection changes. The separate libvisual package is untouched. The accepted -5 source remains unchanged. There is no CI-specific workaround, and no check has been disabled or made optional. Validation on current unstable: * source build, amd64 sbuild and installed-plugin autopkgtest: PASS; * normal and nocheck packages, including dbgsym: byte-identical; * comparison against -5 rebuilt with the same toolchain: unchanged runtime dependencies, paths, permissions, catalogs and allocated ELF sections (excluding build IDs); still 13 actors, 5 inputs and 4 morphs; * installed German catalog: 109 translations, no fuzzy/untranslated entries; * Lintian 2.142.0: no errors or warnings, only existing experimental tags. Salsa CI for the exact candidate commit: all 11 required jobs PASS, including amd64/i386/source builds, Lintian, autopkgtest, piuparts, blhc, debrebuild and uscan: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins/-/pipelines/1187429 For transparency, the mentors package page reports these additional Lintian diagnostics: * W: missing-debian-watch-file-standard [debian/watch]; * W: recommended-field: Priority in the source stanza; * P: package-uses-experimental-debhelper-compat-version: 14. These diagnostics are not reproduced by the local Lintian 2.142.0 check; the Salsa Lintian job also passes. No overrides were added to suppress them. I have verified that the signed .dsc and both tarballs published on mentors are byte-identical to the local candidate checked above. The candidate is on debian/master at e34e1fc6b77cacc47ed77b5ed32d89f618cf9a7d. No Debian release tag has been created; I will wait for ACCEPTED before tagging. Simon, I have copied you as suggested for sponsorship requests. This is the compat 14 work previously prepared locally, now finalized and retested. Thank you again for your reviews and sponsorship. Best regards, Federico Molara
