Happy New Year! :-) I've packaged libmemcache, a C client library for Danga Interactive's memcached. Originally it was meant to be injected into Ubuntu universe, but I changed goals and I now want it in Debian[1] so that it could be used by other packages, e.g. lighttpd. I will sponsor you for this package, but give me sometimes, this is my first sponsoring. I think i will give you a full review on monday.

RFS: fbgetty
Hello, I am looking for a sponsor to fbgetty. This package has been orphaned and i want to take his maintainance. I have prepared a package, that can be found here: http://le-gall.net/sylvain/debian-public/ The package seems almost lintian clean (2 warnings about outdated config.sub/config.guess which are patched during the build, so it should not generate any real errors). I have rebuild it in a pbuilder also, without problem.

Any reason not to put the correct version in the .diff.gz? I think it is best to keep the correct version in a dpatch file which i can easily send to upstream. I like to have only debian/ in the diff.gz (but it is only a matter of taste). I try to always use pristine upstream source. Anyway the patch will be sent to upstream in order to have a release with updated config.guess/config.sub. Since it is patched before configure, there is really no difference.

I like to have only debian/ in the diff.gz (but it is only a matter of taste). I try to always use pristine upstream source. I recommend that you build depend on the autotools-dev package instead (which is already pulled in) and that you upgrade to that version at build time. I don't see the problem with sending a patch to upstream... I don't like to auto upgrade part of the source: it should break the build system of the upstream author... You should probably take a look at the license of your documentation. I have to wonder what modified versions [...] under the conditions for verbatim copying means. That seem to conflict with itself. Yes, it seems to be auto conflicting. You also might want to look into the license of src/alloca.c. It seems to be public domain (fast reading). I don't see the problem ?
