Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package regexxer
Hi Neil,
I'm willing to sponsor this package. A few comments first.
Lintian isn't happy with your changelog:
W: regexxer: debian-changelog-has-wrong-weekday 2013-08-26 is a Monday
N:
N:The date in the changelog entry is not consistent with the actual
N:weekday. Either the date is wrong or the weekday is wrong.
N:
N:To avoid problems like this, consider using a tool like dch(1) or
N:date(1) to generate the date. Example:
N:
N: $ date -R -ud '2013-11-05 23:59:59'
N: Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:59:59 +
N:
N:Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N:
N:Check: changelog-file, Type: binary
N:
Also, you should close the ITA bug in the changelog using the format:
(Closes: #569345)
Since we're fixing the changelog anyway, it's a bit confusing that you say you:
Remove debian/patches/glib-single-include.patch
but then:
debian/patches/glib-single-include.patch:
Updated to fix one more include.
and of course that patch is present in the package.
If you clean these little things up, I'll upload the package. Lintian
points out a few other things that would be nice, but since the
package is already in Debian I don't consider them blockers. You
should look into fixing them in a future upload though:
W: regexxer: hardening-no-relro usr/bin/regexxer
N:
N:This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the read-only
N:relocation link flag. This package was likely not built with the
N:default Debian compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using
N:dpkg-buildflags directly, be sure to import LDFLAGS.

I: regexxer: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/regexxer
N:
N:This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the use of fortified libc
N:functions. Either there are no potentially unfortified functions called
N:by any routines, all unfortified calls have already been fully validated
N:at compile-time, or the package was not built with the default Debian
N:compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using
N:dpkg-buildflags directly, be sure to import CPPFLAGS.
N:
N:NB: Due to false-positives, Lintian ignores some unprotected functions
N:(e.g. memcpy).
