Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my updated package "trader", a simple game of interstellar trading. This update fixes a FTBFS listed in bug #1135930: Package name: trader Version: 7.21-1 Upstream author: John Zaitseff <[email protected]> -- that's me! URL: https://www.zap.org.au/projects/trader/ License: GPL3+ Vcs: https://git.zap.org.au/git/trader.git -b with-debian Section: games It builds one binary package: trader - simple game of interstellar trading I have successfully built binaries using Debian chroots on The ZAP Group Australia server. You can download my build using dget: dget -x https://ftp.zap.org.au/pub/trader/unix/binary/debian/trader_7.21-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: trader (7.21-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release: includes a fix for the FTBFS seen under Autoconf 2.73. Closes: #1135930. * Updated to Debian Policy 4.7.4: removed "Priority: optional" from debian/control as this is now the default. * Moved to dpkg-build-api v1 for building. * Adjusted build dependencies as required for Debian old-stable. * Removed Vcs-Browser from debian/control as the URL in this field was being subjected to a continual and sustained DDOS. Closes: #1132702. * Changed Vcs-Git link to use HTTPS instead of the Git protocol. * Added details of all relevant source files to debian/copyright (as requested by Tobias Frost). * Enabled build hardening in debian/rules. * Converted debian/watch to version 5 format. * Removed superfluous signatures from debian/upstream/signing-key.asc. * Incorporates changes made to previous upstream releases (not uploaded to Debian): changed documentation (history of the game), updated translations, renamed AppStream metainfo and desktop files. -- John Zaitseff <[email protected]> Mon, 18 May 2026 14:56:21 +1000 Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
