Hi, This is about changing maintainership of a new version of libopenobex which is already in Debian. libopenobex is a GPL'ed library for the OBEX protocol which supports Bluetooth, IrDA, TCP and in this new version also USB. The new control is listed at the bottom of this mail.
I am currently the obexftp maintainer (sponsored by Michael Banck) and would like to maintain libopenobex, too. However, not being a DD, I need sponsorship and Edd Dumbill is pretty busy currently. The history is shown at in the BTS as bug #237386 The new package can be found at: http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ubq7/debian/ The source package got renamed (libopenobex1.0 -> libopenobex) as it was once (in oldstable) and the binary packages got renamed, too (libopenobex-1.0-0 -> libopenobex1). The naming is thus consistent with the libpkg-guide. The following packages currently use libopenobex: affix kdebluetooth libaffix2 libmultisync-plugin-irmc libmultisync-plugin-irmc-bluetooth obexserver ussp-push Once uploaded, I would notify the respective maintainers. The following packages are directly affected by this source: libopenobex-1.0-0: renamed to libopenobex1 in the new package libopenobex-1.0-0-dev: now libopenobex1-dev (both provide libopenobex-dev) openobex-apps: not shipped seperately anymore, same source as libopenobex ircp: not shipped seperately anymore, same source as libopenobex and obexftp: above repository has obexftp-0.19 that uses the new lib I also notified the maintainer of ircp but did not get any answer so far. However, I included any patches of the previously seperated packages. The patches are handled by quilt (no build-time patching). I hope that someone can sponsor this new version; getting obexftp-0.19 also uploaded would be a bonus :) I also plan on packaging other OBEX related packages, e.g. wnpp bug #238314. ----------------- libopenobex debian/control ------------------------ Source: libopenobex Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Hendrik Sattler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.0.0), autotools-dev, libbluetooth1-dev (>= 2.2), libusb-dev (>= 2:0.1.11), pkg-config, docbook-utils Standards-Version: 3.6.2.0 Package: libopenobex1-dev Section: libdevel Conflicts: libopenobex-dev Provides: libopenobex-dev Architecture: any Depends: libopenobex1 (= ${Source-Version}), libbluetooth1-dev (>= 2.2), libusb-dev (>= 2:0.1.11), pkg-config Description: OBEX protocol library - development files The Object Exchange protocol can best be described as binary HTTP.
