I am much in favour of that. Seconded. Definitely seconded. But many people seem to think that revision "-1" needs to be the first revision to go into Debian. That makes sponsoring hard sometimes because you never know which revision of "-1" you are currently talking about. Other people suggested a revision <1. We could even use "~". But I'm a fan of having -1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6 until the sponsor thinks the package is okay and start with -6 in Debian then. I'm deeply confused if I see two different uploads anywhere (be it on mentors.debian.net or anywhere else) carrying the same revision number. Usually I refuse to sponsor such packages. It's not part of the Debian Reference yet so it will probably be handled differently by different sponsor(?:ee)?s.

I am much in favour of that. It does make it much easier to spot when a new version has been posted to m.d.n if people do that. Alan

The situation of gcc-h8300-hms and related packages
Hi all! I've asked for sponsorship of gcc-h8300-hms 3 months ago [1], but couldn't find anyone to do the NMU for me. Now that the package has been orphaned [2], I'd hope for the situation to improve. Anyone willing to sponsor may find the package at [3]. If there is any interest, I'd be willing to prepare new uploads for the packages brickos and binutils-h8300-hms as well, which have been orphaned too.

Re: RFS: inotail -- inotify enhanced tail
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "inotail". [8<] I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I cannot sponsot, IANADD, but I've give a look at you package: very well done!! (it's lintian/linda clean and build correctly in pbuilder env) Just a couple of notes: * short description - could you please expand it, since I cannot understand what the package is reading only that sentence * watch file - I know you're the upstream author, but why not include that file: it's easy and will help future maintainer in case you'll decide to orphan this package. Good luck in finding a sponsor.

Re: RFS: drapes
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "drapes".
Hi Francesco,
I cannot upload since IANADD, but I've given a look at you package;
these are notes I'd like to advice you:
* debian/control
- long descriptio should start capitalized
- correct some typos in long description, for example: s/build
in/built-in/ , s/wallapers/wallpapers/
- please include Homepage meta-tag as specified in [1]
* debian/copyright
- you missed to insert copyright notes for many files: (apart from
Makefiles and other generated configure scripts)
+ ./po/{de,es,fr,it,ko,nl,pl,pt_BR,sv}.po are copyrighted by Canonical
+ ./drapes/panelapplet/PanelAppletFactory.cs by Novell
+ ./drapes/Traylib.cs is copyrighted by three different entities,
and is under MIT license.
I know it's boring execute " find . -type f -exec less '{}' \; " but
you _have to_ do it, and report in debian/copyright every copyright
notice for files in your package.
* NEWS
- this seems to be the upstream changelog, and it has to be treated
so: called changelog, and installed (after gzip -9 ) into
/usr/share/doc/drapes/changelog.gz . Give a look at
dh_installchangelogs
* debian/rules
- remove template header
- remove all commented out dh_* calls in binary-arch target
- dh_install debian/pixmap/drapes.xpm /usr/share/pixmaps/
it's better if you install it locally, $(CURDIR)/debian/drapes/usr/
- why did you re-write patch/unpatch target instead of including
/usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make ? (I've written a little page about
using dpatch: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/index.php?view=use_dpatch
maybe give it a look)
* config.{guess,sub}
- take care of those files: they can create many problems. you can
look at /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
* debian/watch
- as of now it's missing: please evaluate to add it: it will easy
noticing of new upstream releases. Upstream tarball patch is rather
funny: maybe you can contact him and ask to change in something more
easy to manage.
* debian/patches
- please include description for patch 01_data_Makefile.in.dpatch
- 02_config.dpatch is provided by Ralf Treinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
should he be mentioned in debian/copyright? Some DDs can comment on
this?
* debian/drapes.1
- have you forwarded upstream this manpage, asking him to include in
upstream tarball (maybe expanding it)? If no, do it, is yes, well
done! :)
I haven't build the package (neither in pbuilder) since I'd had to
download too much packages... :)
Kind Regards,
Sandro

I can sponsor such packages for you, but I do have a biiig question: h8300-hms (actually, h8300-coff) is dead upstream. Nobody wrote a new gas backend for h8300-coff, and it has been pulled from binutils. What do you intend to do about it? The last binutils version that supports h8300-coff is 2.16.x, I think. h8300-elf still lives, though. Also, maybe it is high time to rename h8300-hms to its proper name, h8300-coff ? > Now that the package has been orphaned [2], I'd hope for the situation to > improve.
