Bug#785683: RFS: mod-gnutls/0.6-1.4 [NMU]
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I'm looking for a sponsor for a bugfix update of mod-gnutls that would close bug #775909 (segfaults with reverse proxy configuration). I've uploaded the package to Debian Mentors a few weeks ago. The maintainer has not responded (like for the security updates to 0.5.10-1.1+deb7u1 and 0.6-1.3, which went through the security team, see DSA-3177 [1]), so now I'm looking for a sponsor for an NMU. * Package name: mod-gnutls Version : 0.6-1.4 Upstream Author : Daniel Kahn Gillmor * URL : https://mod.gnutls.org/ * License : Apache-2.0 Section : httpd It builds those binary packages: libapache2-mod-gnutls - Apache module for SSL and TLS encryption with GnuTLS To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/mod-gnutls Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mod-gnutls/mod-gnutls_0.6-1.4.dsc More information about hello can be obtained from http://www.example.com. Changes since the last upload: * Fix segfaults with reverse proxy configuration (Closes: #775909) * Upgrade Standards-Version to 3.9.6, change DocumentRoot in default-tls.conf to /var/www/html accordingly.

[4] mentors does not distribute binary packages, which is what you have uploaded to github. Some sponsors are fine interacting with random git trees but others like to use the Debian source package (.dsc), which you haven't uploaded anywhere. Personally I'd suggest uploading the source package to mentors. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

IANAL, so my opinion doesn't actually matter. :)
If you want an authoritative yes/no regarding whether this is legally
acceptable or not, debian-legal is the wrong place; you should be
asking the ftpmasters directly instead.
I don't actually know anything about ming (and the Debian ming
packages); are php_ext/ming.{c,h} actually used to build the binary
packages? Can they be removed just like java_ext?
Regards,
Vincent

Re: RFS: self-serve photo booth software
I see it's not recommended to include a debian/ directory in my upstream source control [1]. What's the best practice for hosting Debian packaging files? Should I request a new repo on Alioth, fork my upstream, and add the debian dir on a branch? [2, 3] Also, is it standard procedure to upload locally built packages to mentors.d.n, or is that not necessary if I already have hosting for the files?

Well, IMHO how about cvp, which means "Coreutils Viewer for Progress", 1. it's more clear in the terms of meaning, than cv 2. with a 'p' trailing after, it's no much harder to type than "cv" 3. cvp is available $ apt-file search /usr/bin/cvp kicad: /usr/bin/cvpcb $ If you don't like cvp, then IMHO what about "cvsp", which means "Coreutils Viewer for Seek Position".

I've just updated the list few hours ago, just 2 missing contributors, 4
commits. Not sure that commits in question are legally significant and

Thanks for spending time on d/copyright.
Just fixed what you pointed out in git.

Now I know that even binaries can have their own copyright file, which
replaces global one (always good?). Fixed in git.

Ok, now that the package's orphaned status has been clarified, here's a more thorough review: Please be more verbose in d/changelog (w.r.t. your changes to d/control, e.g. like adding/removing build-deps/deps/pre-deps). debian/rules is missing a get-orig-source target, which is described in Policy §4.9 [1]. It's not mandatory as per Policy, but since you also aren't including a debian/watch file (BTW, why did you remove it?), it's harder for others to verify your orig tarball (and I consider one or the other mandatory when sponsoring packages). debian/clean should be redundant now.

How to deal with configs in non-standard locations
Hi, I am playing with the Snes9x source code, and I can't get it to compile via debhelper. Snes9x has its config files in a subfolder of the sources called "unix". What is the proper way of overriding dh_auto_install and dh_auto_build to point debhelper to the correct location? I have tried placing these overrides in my debian/rules file, but they don't seem to work: override_dh_auto_configure: DESTDIR=$(shell pwd)/debian/snes9x cd $(shell pwd)/unix autoreconf -i configure --prefix=$(DESTDIR) override_dh_auto_build: cd $(shell pwd)/unix make -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But in the other end, I'm completely OK with a rename of the project if a good name is found (short, pronounceable, possibly explicit, …) Julien. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Let me CC the author to discuss the name issue ... Xfennec (the author of cv): In fact there is a package named "radiance" in debian archive, which includes a executable named cv. So this is a conflict again... The description of cv I wrote in control file is "Coreutils (progress) Viewer". Well, Xfennec, can we pick a new name for it ? And please give your opinion.

Bug#784854: MIA for "Karolina Kalic "

There was a misunderstanding here, somebody decided to orphan the package in their own and later when Ricardo Mones from the MIA team orphaned it properly, he kept the first bug and merged it with his own orphaning but from the MIA team. Vincent probably overlooked the second orphaning bug and therefore his, understandable, request about following the MIA procedure. So please James Lu, feel free to adopt the package. Vincent or Dmitry feel free to sponsor it and Karolina, I hope you'll be able to be back in the project in the future!

I guess this check could be done directly by mentors.d.n.

Bug#784854: MIA for "Karolina Kalic "
Hi everybody, As I can remember, MIA team contacted me a while ago. And I explained that I can not continue my work for Debian at the moment. The packages should have been orphaned properly after that. I don't know what happened. I'm glad that someone wants to continue the work on unico. I don't have any objections.
