Bug#992214: RFS: nemo-compare/5.0.1-1 [ITP] -- Context menu comparison extension for Nemo file manager
Hi, here I don't understand why title refer to nemo-compare but RFS was opened about nemo-audio-tab In any cases some useful infos: upstream have all nemo extensions in one repository: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions major of bugfix versions are specific to one or few extensions near always so the correct check for a new version of specific extension is check if its package is released on mint repository, looking nemo-compare: version=4 http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/backport/n/nemo-compare/ \ nemo-compare_([\d.]+)%2b[\w\d]+\.tar\.gz is correct about nemo extensions upload and maintain all them in debian not worth it, for the 2 only maintainer actually active in it (joshua and me), and more with actual upload difficulties that make waste time :( nemo-compare seems to me one of the few that worth upload and keeping major of commits are only version bump so also less upload needed in future: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo-extensions/commits/master/nemo-compare but before first upload of it I think is better update to 5.2.1 as it add one small fix, @Joshua can you do it please?

Bug#1002617: RFS: carl9170fw/1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1 [ITP] -- firmware for AR9170 USB wireless adapters
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ker...@lists.debian.org Dear mentors and Kernel Team, I'm looking for a sponsor for my package "carl9170fw": * Package name : carl9170fw Version : 1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1 Upstream Author : linux-wirel...@vger.kernel.org * URL : https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 * License : many; the binary is effectively GPL 2.0 only * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/carl9170fw Section : kernel It builds those binary packages: firmware-carl9170 - firmware for AR9170 USB wireless adapters firmware-carl9170-di - firmware for AR9170 USB wireless adapters - udeb To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/carl9170fw/ Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/carl9170fw/carl9170fw_1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1.dsc This is the initial upload of the carl9170 libre wireless firmware. Although it's already shipped in firmware-linux-free, this package will build it from source using the already-packaged SuperH cross-compiler. The package will not yet be installable unless one manually deletes the carl9170fw binary on their system. The goal of this upload is just to get the package through NEW. After it clears NEW, we'll be able to do the handover of the firmware by (in order, hopefully within the span of a day or so): * having firmware-carl9170 add Breaks+Replaces on firmware-linux-free and uploading to unstable * taking the firmware out of firmware-linux-free * having firmware-linux-free add Recommends: firmware-carl9170 * and then uploading firmware-linux-free to unstable I don't expect that the udeb will be used by the Debian Installer anytime soon because I still have to learn how to make that happen, but based on previous discussions I know it will be necessary. It's not strictly necessary (they can be done in either order), but a sponsor who wants to help could also upload gcc-sh-elf v2 for me. That RFS is #1002582. I own the hardware and can affirm that this package works with it. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#1002604: RFS: tapecalc/20211222-2 [ITA] [RC] -- full-screen tape editor that lets the user edit a calculation
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tapecalc": * Package name: tapecalc Version : 20211222-2 Upstream Author : Thomas E. Dickey * URL : https://invisible-island.net/add/add.html * License : dickey * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/viccie30/tapecalc Section : math It builds those binary packages: tapecalc - full-screen tape editor that lets the user edit a calculation To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/tapecalc/ Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tapecalc/tapecalc_20211222-2.dsc Changes since the last upload: tapecalc (20211222-2) unstable; urgency=medium . * Actually set myself as maintainer There is already an open ITA bug at #747967 in which Thomas Dickey, the upstream maintainer also declared his intent to adopt this package. I have had private e-mail contact with Thomas Dickey and he does not mind if I maintain this package in Debian. This upload would fix all 3 of src:tapecalc's open bugs, one of which is RC.
