Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.0~beta2-1 of my package "krecipes".
It builds these binary packages: krecipes - recipes manager for KDE krecipes-data - recipes manager for KDE - data files krecipes-doc - recipes manager for KDE - documentation Krecipes is a KDE application designed to manage recipes. It can help you to do your shopping list, search through your recipes to find what you can do with available ingredients and a diet helper. It can also import or export recipes from files in various format (eg RecipeML or Meal-Master) or from databases. The package appears to be almost (see below) lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 473367, 478030, 513860 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/krecipes - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/krecipes/krecipes_1.0~beta2-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I have to give you some background information. Maintainer for krecipes is actually "Debian KDE Extras Team <pkg-kde-ext...@lists.alioth.debian.org>". Unfortunately, this is list is mostly dead except from forwarded messages from BTS or PTS. A number of mails I (and others) sent there got no response. Krecipes has not been maintained for over 2 years and the MIA team has requested the removal of the only Uploader a couple of months ago (#513860). Therefore, I would consider krecipes effectively orphaned, allthough not officially. Are there any formal steps I should undertake to take over maintainership for this package? Upstream has been dead for 2 years as well, but got recently revived by a different maintainer who released a new version that fixes the long-standing RC bug (#478030) that has kept krecipes out of Lenny. I have packaged the new version and fixed a number of other issues. The only complaint lintian still has is W: krecipes-data: icon-size-and-directory-name-mismatch usr/share/apps/krecipes/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/actions/categories.png 32x32 I don't consider this severe enough to start and fiddle with changing of binary files. Instead, I will try to get this fixed upstream. If this does not happen for some reason I will wait for the 3.0 (quilt) format to be accepted by ftp-master. Also, dh_shlibdeps is complaining about a ton of unnecessary dependencies. I have not yet tried to investigate where those are coming from.
