i'd like to sponsor it, but there's a problem... > It builds these binary packages: > mail-notification - mail notification in system tray > mail-notification-evolution - evolution support for mail notification > > The package is not lintian clean, but as I understand it an NMU is not the > place to fix longstanding lintian issues. ... an here it is: the package has a lintian error: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath with that lintian error, the package will get auto-REJECTED moments after the upload (cfr [1]). [1] http://ftp-master.debian.org/#lintianrejects The proper way to avoid it is to fix this error :) There is also a workaround, but I since it seems you care a bit about this package, i'd like to give you teh "opportunity" to correct it. Additionally, are you interested in co-maintain it? maybe write to the current (quite inactive) maint lending your hand. > The upload would fix these bugs: 577503, 580884, 580886, 582118; the last > three are release-critical, and the first is very annoying (the icons used in > the current version of the package no longer exist). > > Here is the changelog: > > mail-notification (5.4.dfsg.1-2.2) unstable; urgency=low > > * Non-maintainer upload. > * Switch to "3.0 (quilt)" source format, to allow the various changes > below to be readily identified. > * Split existing changes into patches, and fix the existing change to > mn-evolution-server.gob for evolution-data-server 2.23.5 (the > eds-version.h include file was missing). > * Update .gob files for gob2 2.0.16 and rebuild from scratch (Closes: > #580886). > * Update for evolution-data-server 2.29 and later, based on the fix > present in Fedora 13 > (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=388098) (Closes: > #580884, #582118). > * Replace stock icons with icons present in current versions of > gnome-icon-theme, based on the fix present in Fedora 13 > (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=415509) (Closes: > #577503). these changes are fine: give a look at the rpath issue and I'll sponsor it.
