Bug#738671: RFS: whatmask/1.2-1 [ITP]
Hi, That sounds like what sipcalc, ipcalc, gip, subnetcalc etc do. Does whatmask do anything more than the existing packages already in Debian? Thanks for mentioning those - I have installed and compared them, and you are correct - Whatmask doesn't provide anything significantly different to any of those. If I need to withdraw this package, please could you advise how I can go about that? Bit of a shame for my first package, but such is life!

You might also want to inform upstream about the other software. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#closing Bit of a shame for my first package, but such is life! Plenty of existing packages that need help and you could also work on Debian infrastructure code like QA related things. https://www.debian.org/intro/help https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=how-can-i-help -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nick, Disclaimer: I'm not a DD, so can't upload your package but have looked at it, as it is of interest to me. Generally the package seems to be in very good shape and builds in a clean chroot fine. Just touching on the couple of lintian warnings: X: whatmask source: deprecated-configure-filename I would forward this to upstream for their attention [1] I: whatmask source: debian-watch-file-is-missing I have attached a watch file that seems to work okay (other watch file guru's may be able to optimise it). As upstream sign their releases, you can get uscan to check [2] this as well. I have included the line to check this in the watch file (again, it might not be perfect) The releases have been signed with key ID: E8882FE3 I: whatmask: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/whatmask GNU PUBLIC LICENSE GNU General Public License This will be easy enough to patch and again forward upstream. The error appears in usage.c:60 Hope this review is helpful for you and aids you in finding a sponsor.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the kind words and for pointing out those lintian warnings - I'll investigate and look at resolving them. Thanks also for the watch file - I'll see if I can make any changes and will incorporate that into the package :-) Regards, Nick On 11 Feb 2014 21:37, Daniel Lintott dan...@serverb.co.uk wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nick, Disclaimer: I'm not a DD, so can't upload your package but have looked at it, as it is of interest to me.
