Bug#855440: RFS: bglibs/2.03+dfsg-2

2017-02-17 Thread Dmitry Bogatov

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "bglibs"

* Package name : bglibs
  Version  : 2.03+dfsg-2
  Upstream Author  : Bruce Guenter 
* Url  : http://untroubled.org/bglibs/
* Licenses : GPL-2+,LGPL-2+,LGPL-2.1+
  Programming Lang : C
  Section  : libs

 ${S:Long-Desc}
 .
 This package contains the shared libraries.

It builds those binary packages:

  * libbg2
  * libbg-dev
  * libbg2-doc

Please note, that package is maintained with dgit(1) tool using
dgit-maint-merge(7) workflow. In particular, it means that quilt
patches are squashed in source package and are not intended for
review. For more information about how to sponsor this package,
see dgit-sponsorship(7).

  Git repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git
  Git branch: master
  Orig tar.gz: from tag 2.03+dfsg

With /bin/sh following commands should suffice:

  $ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git 
bglibs
  $ cd bglibs
  $ git archive -o ../bglibs_2.03+dfsg.orig.tar.xz 2.03+dfsg
  $ dgit sbuild

Changes since last upload:

  * QA upload
  * Remove Conflict field from libbg-dev.
  * Install build tools into libbg-dev package, since they are required
for building other packages of same upstream.
  * Fix spelling error in cli-generate.1

Bug#855439: RFS: cvm/0.97

2017-02-17 Thread Dmitry Bogatov

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "cvm"

* Package name : cvm
  Version  : 0.97
  Upstream Author  : Bruce Guenter 
* Url  : http://untroubled.org/cvm/
* Licenses : LGPL-2+,GPL-2+,LGPL-2.1+
  Programming Lang : C
  Section  : libs

 CVM is a framework for validating a set of credentials against a database
 using a filter program.  The modules act as a filter, taking a set of
 credentials as input and writing a set of facts as output if those
 credentials are valid.  Optional input is given to the module through
 environment variables.
 .
 Some of the ideas for CVM came from experience with PAM (pluggable
 authentication modules), the checkpassword interface used by qmail-pop3d,
 and the "authmod" interface used by Courier IMAP and POP3.  This framework
 places fewer restrictions on the invoking client than checkpassword does,
 and is much simpler to implement on both sides than PAM and the authmod
 framework.

Note, that this is not full-scale modernization of package. It is just a
NMU, required for libbg1 -> libbg2 transition. There is still a lot of
Lintian warnings, I know.

It builds those binary packages:

  * cvm
  * cvm-mysql
  * cvm-pgsql
  * libcvm1
  * libcvm1-dev

Please note, that package is maintained with dgit(1) tool using
dgit-maint-merge(7) workflow. In particular, it means that quilt patches
are squashed in source package and are not intended for review. For more
information about how to sponsor this package, see dgit-sponsorship(7).

  Git repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git
  Git branch: master
  Orig tar.gz: from tag upstream/0.97

With /bin/sh following commands should suffice:

  $ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git 
bglibs
  $ cd bglibs
  $ git archive -o ../cvm_0.97.orig.tar.xz upstream/0.97
  $ dgit sbuild

Changes since last upload:

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release (compatible with bglibs >= 2.03)
  * Write watch file and verify GPG signature
  * Upgrade dependendency on bglibs (libbg1-dev -> libbg-dev >= 2.03)
  * Drop rpath related patch (fixed upstream)
  * Adjust debian/rules to changed upstream Makefile
  * Add ldconfig trigger

It is far better to just remove build dates, they are very pointless.

That isn't necessary because Debian has implemented SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:

Firstly, this terminology is not correct.  The standards version is not
the debhelper compat level.

Secondly, you should revert the compat change in order to be sure of
getting a freeze exception for the fix of the important bug.

Thirdly, your Vcs-Git repository is not up-to-date -- it doesn't include
this upload.

I guess you misunderstand Sean's words.

There're two types of Vcs:
 - upstream Vcs, which should not contain debian/ folder. (but if it
contains debian/, it should still have way to work out)
 - debian packaing Vcs, which Sean requested you to make

BTW. Vcs-* in d/control file is the 2nd type listed above.
So please create one with your packaging files, and add the Vcs info
back to d/control.
Thanks!

I mean there're src files under other than GPL-3+, which is totally fine.
But you need to sort them out, list all the licenses and their src files.

Please take a look at my package as example:

I guess only image files need to confirm, right?

We can wait for the version you're satisfied with.

No problem about the divergence, git repo is just easy to track what
you've changed.

You may also want to close bug #792108 with that release.

You may also want to add yourself to debian/copyright if your changes are
substantial (like switching to pybuild and compat level 10 might be).

Feel free to contact me for sponsorship as I'm an alot user and also
fixed/filed a couple of bugs together with upstream. I'm thus very interested
in keeping this package in Debian.

I'm sorry. I meant to say that I planned to put it into git under the
PAPT, not collab-maint. So, the change would be moving from svn to
git. I did apply to be added to the alioth PAPT project.

lets review:
a) PAPT seems more appropriate
b) "alot (0.3.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium"
this never went in unstable, please merge the two changelog entries together 
with the correct
author attributions
c) #846314 <-- please fix it
d) please close #792108 in the correct "new upstream release" changelog
e) #701806 wontfix?
f) the runtime dependencies needs to match the versions on setup.py
and if oldstable/stable already have higher versions, you can just drop them 
and let
python:Depends fill them correctly
g) please consider using pybuild for building it
h) please consider bumping compat level to 10

other stuff LGTM

Jordan contacted me a few days ago, I gave him complete permission to adopt
the package, as I've been for all intent and purposes, fallen MIA

While I am a DM, I haven't been active in the Debian community for
something like two years (nor have I been using Debian). Thus, I don't feel
qualified to review anyone's work. As far as uploading goes, I'm fairly
sure my GPG key has expired.

For these reasons, I kindly ask that anyone with the inclination would
review and upload the package.

I do have reservations about moving the package from the PAPT umbrella into
collab-maint, but it's not my call anymore.

Cheers,
Simon
