Hi. Probably this was missed the past few times that I posted to the list.
Please, could anybody sponsor it? Thanks, Rogério Brito. ----- Forwarded message from Rogério Brito <rbr...@ime.usp.br> ----- From: Rogério Brito <rbr...@ime.usp.br> To: debian-mentors@lists.debian.org Subject: RFS: magicfilter (QA update of the package) (fwd) Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:17:22 -0300 User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Please, could anybody sponsor this package for me? I sent this about two weeks ago, but it didn't get any response. Oh, just one thing: this packaging is supposed to be as disruptive as possible, with more to come, one I became the actual maintainer of this (already agreed with David Frey). Also, you may notice that this program was packaged quite a long time ago, and it doesn't use debhelper or anything similar. It was just doing its things with simple shell commands. I opted to keep it this way for *this* upload. (As you can see, I am quite conservative here). Further uploads will migrate to debhelper & co. Thanks in advance, Rogério Brito. ----- Forwarded message from Rogério Brito <rbr...@ime.usp.br> ----- From: Rogério Brito <rbr...@ime.usp.br> To: debian-mentors@lists.debian.org Subject: RFS: magicfilter (QA update of the package) Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 22:23:37 -0300 Cc: David Frey <df...@debian.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Dear mentors, The package magicfilter, a print filter for spoolers like lpr/lprng/etc, in Debian had some issues (dependencies on nonexistent packages) since it had not been updated in the last 3 years (according to the changelog, its last updated was in 2006). Since I use the package regularly and care about it, I would love to see it uploaded to Debian and I plan on taking care of it (it is currently RFA'ed, as said in Bug #176737). I am, thus, looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.2-60.1 of magicfilter. Here is the relevant part of the changelog: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - magicfilter (1.2-60.1) unstable; urgency=low . * Non-maintainer upload. * Do some QA work, since I care about this package and the current maintainer issued an RFA bug (176737). * debian/control: revamp the file: + replace tetex-bin with texlive. + replace gs with ghostscript. + remove gzip dependency & build-dependency (it's essential). + remove dvips nonexistent dependency (dvips is included in texlive). + remove libjpeg-gif dependency (nonexistent). + add poppler-utils in front of xpdf-utils (the first is more updated). + add autotools-dev to build-deps. + wrap the build-deps and deps fields. + add Homepage: field. * debian/watch: create from scratch. * debian/rules: + don't ignore make errors. + don't ignore make errors (-i). + soon to use a patch system (quilt). + soon to use debhelper (it's homebrew for now). + add upstream changelog. * debian/{postinst,postrm,prerm}: + use "set -e". * debian/copyright: + refer to GPL-2, not GPL. + added upstream copyright notice. * debian/menu: + change section to "Applications/System/Administration". * debian/control: + change Standards-Version to 3.8.1. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The source builds this binary package: magicfilter - automatic printer filter The package appears to be lintian clean (only one "pedantic" lintian warning, but that's all). The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/magicfilter - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/magicfilter/magicfilter_1.2-60.1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
