Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor/reviewer for my package "libhugetlbfs".
* Package name : libhugetlbfs Version : 1.2-1 Upstream Author : Mel Gorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/deb-libhugetlbfs/ * License : LGPL 2.1 Section : libs It builds these binary packages: libhugetlbfs - helper to back malloc(), text and data with hugepages libhugetlbfs-dev - libhugetlbfs Development library and Header Files The package appears to be lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libhugetlbfs - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs_1.2-1.dsc At this starting stage, I would be glad if someone would review the package. I know that starting packaging with a library is generally frowned upon and no doubt mistakes will mean it is not quite ready for upload. Despite the warning, I packaged a library anyway for a few reasons. Firstly, as I am generally concerned with large page support in the kernel and am a Debian user, having this library in Debian is of particular interest to me. Secondly, the library has no other library depencies making it simplier than average. Lastly, the library when preloaded can be used to back application text, data and malloc() with large pages so in an odd way, it can act similar to an executable. I wrote up the experiences while building the package at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/docs/debianstart/ in case it's useful to anyone.
