Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "stoken": * Package name : stoken Version : 0.93-3 Upstream contact : Kevin Cernekee <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/stoken-dev/stoken * License : LGPL-2.1-or-later * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/stoken Section : utils The source builds the following binary packages: stoken - Software Token for cryptographic authentication libstoken1t64 - Software Token for cryptographic authentication - shared library libstoken-dev - Software Token for cryptographic authentication - development files To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/stoken/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stoken/stoken_0.93-3.dsc Changes since the last upload: stoken (0.93-3) unstable; urgency=medium * New maintainer (Closes: #1130510) * Bump debhelper compat level to 14. * Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4, no changes needed. * Add debian/upstream/metadata. * Add autopkgtests: run the upstream test suite against the installed stoken and build the libstoken example program against libstoken- dev. * libstoken-dev: Depend on libxml2-dev, needed by stoken.pc (Requires.private: libxml-2.0); without it pkg-config fails. -- Juan Pavon <[email protected]> Sat, 07 Nov 2026 05:53:49 +0000 I am adopting stoken (ITA #1130510). It was orphaned in March 2026 and is currently maintained by the QA team. I want to learn how to maintain packages in Debian, and stoken is a good fit: it is small, in good shape, and its library is useful to other software such as VPN clients. This is my first package in Debian. Notes on the changes above: * The libxml2-dev dependency fixes a real bug: stoken.pc declares "Requires.private: libxml-2.0", so on a clean system "pkg-config --libs stoken" fails and nothing can build against libstoken. The new build-libstoken autopkgtest found it. * The autopkgtests reuse upstream's own test suite (the 10 tests/*.pipe tests, run against the installed stoken) and build the upstream example program against libstoken-dev. Testing: built in a clean unstable environment with sbuild; lintian clean (no errors, warnings or info tags); autopkgtest 2/2 pass; piuparts install/purge test passes. Upstream (https://github.com/stoken-dev/stoken) is quiet: the last release, 0.93, is from 2023, and it is already packaged. The packaging is in my fork of the Salsa repository, one commit per change: https://salsa.debian.org/pav0n/stoken I don't have push access to salsa.debian.org/debian/stoken yet and would be grateful for help with that. Thanks for your time. Regards, -- Juan Pavon
