To me it looks like a error in the watch file, uscan chokes on it. However the debian/watch is provided. Which makes it (too) hard to reproduce and rerun uscan after changes. Change to try:the +download into \+download The idea behind it: The slash should make the plus-sign a literal character, not plus-sign meaning previous character one or more times. Simular: Change the +download into .download Thinking: The plus-sign is probably seen as special character, the dot is special character meaning any character. Let us, the mailinglist{, archive}, known how it went. Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven

I hope you're able to find a sponsor soon. I am just doing a final review for the sponsor, and I found something that annoys every developer, it seems that pragha does not re-builds after an initial build. It builds fine for the very first time, but if you try to re-build, the directory stays dirty and does not allow the package to be rebuilt: This is what I tried: $ get -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pragha/pragha_1.3.3-1.dsc $ cd pragha-1.3.3 $ debuild ; debuild You are going to see something like: dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to po/bg.gmo: binary file contents changed dpkg-source: error: add po/bg.gmo in debian/source/include-binaries if you want to store the modified binary in the debian tarball This means that your clean rules is not cleaning everything that was generated during the build process.

Should be deleted on purge. I think mariadb packaging nowadays has an additional debconf fronted question if you really want to purge the database. I personally do not think that the value of vnstat history is so huge to implement an additional dialog but YMMV. Sven

Bug#874373: RFS: vnstat/1.17-1+nmu1 ITA
I uploaded a new package version in which the not upstreamed patches are dropped, the maintainer is set to myself and the vcs fields are updated accordingly. With #874387 Felix is searching for a new maintainer for this package; what are the requirements for me to become such? Also, I like to ask a technical question: What is the common dealing with state file upon package purge? Vnstat saves the network statistics under /var/lib/vnstat and as this folder is listed in debian/vnstat.install, dpkg warns upon purge operation that this directory cannot be deleted, because it is not empty. Should the directory be emptied in the postrm script or is this warning acceptable?

Bug#877861: RFS: wxmaxima/17.10.0-2
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal [important for RC bugs, wishlist for new packages] Dear mentors, Sorry that I have to bother you again but I am again looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima": This time I found a bug before anybody else did. * Package name: wxmaxima Version : 17.10.0-2 Upstream Author : [fill in name and email of upstream] * URL : [fill in URL of upstreams web site] * License : [fill in] Section : math It builds those binary packages: wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_17.10.0-2.dsc wxMaxima is a powerful graphical front-end for maxima, a program that does symbolic algebra. An example: (%i1) val:[ a=10, b=sqrt(2), c=5 ]; (val) [a=10,b=sqrt(2),c=5] (%i2) poly:y=a*x^2+b*x+c$ (%i3) solve(poly,x); (%o3) [x=-(sqrt(4*a*y-4*a*c+b^2)+b)/(2*a),x=(sqrt(4*a*y-4*a*c+b^2)-b)/(2*a)] (%i4) subst(y=0,%); (%o4) [x=-(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)+b)/(2*a),x=(sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)-b)/(2*a)] (%i5) subst(val,%); (%o5) [x=-(3*sqrt(22)*%i+sqrt(2))/20,x=(3*sqrt(22)*%i-sqrt(2))/20] (%i6) rectform(float(%)); (%o6) [x=-0.7035623639735145*%i-0.07071067811865477,x=0.7035623639735145*%i-0.07071067811865477] Don't know why mentors.debian.net doesn't like my watchfile: uscan does. If anybody has an idea how to make it work for mentors, too, I will prepare a new wxMaxima package that fixes this. Changes since the last upload: Added a patch that corrects a regression in the last upstream release (output sometimes was appended a few cells too far below in the worksheet).
