Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.67-1
of my package "siege".
It builds these binary packages:
siege - Http regression testing and benchmarking utility
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 521029, 521034
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib
non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege/siege_2.67-1.dsc
Many thanks for the advice given so far. I have worked through the lintian
warnings
and sorted those out. I have also taken the time to update the source to be
based
on the latest available upstream.
However, there is a problem, and I seek your advice.
I have commented out one quilt patch for now. It was a minor issue, but I
would not
want this package being uploaded until it is in there, to avoid regression
problems.
The patch in question modifies Makefile.in. This in turn forces the usual auto*
stuff to happen.
The problems are:
1. For some reason, the latest upstream version of this package is using automake-1.6
(as opposed to 1.9 as it did previously). Is this version still
available as it didn't come up when I did a quick search...
2. When the autobuild stuff happens, naturally all the related files are
now
considered modified. Therefore lintian complains before it isn't done directly
by
one of the quilt patches.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Kind regards,
Tris.
