Bug#1011311: RFS: colordiff/1.0.20-1 -- tool to colorize 'diff' output
Thanks for uploading, I see the package has entered unstable. What is the convention now, with this RFS bug? Should I mark it as closed/done? Dave. -- Dave Ewart, da...@sungate.co.uk

Dear mentors, Rebuild package following suggestions from Bastian Germann. I am looking for a sponsor for my package "colordiff": * Package name: colordiff Version : 1.0.20-1 Upstream Author : Dave Ewart da...@sungate.co.uk * URL : http://www.colordiff.org/ * License : GPL-2+ * Vcs : https://github.com/daveewart/colordiff Section : text The source builds the following binary packages: colordiff - tool to colorize 'diff' output To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/colordiff/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/colordiff/colordiff_1.0.20-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: colordiff (1.0.20-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * New upstream release. * debhelper-compat updated to version 13. * Updates standards version to 4.6.0, added Rules-Require-Root.

I can add extra line to changelog, no problem. Would you say it's OK to use the same version 1.0.20-1 simply editing the text given that this version hasn't gone live yet, or should I bump it to 1.0.20-2? Yes, please just edit the changelog without raising the version. The changelog follows the versions that are released on Debian archive, not mentors. Please replace the unmeaningful line "Minor packaging tidying." With regard to "removing debhelper", do you mean change Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 9.0.0), debhelper-compat (= 13) to Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13) in my debian/control and then rebuild the package? Exactly. Finally, "please untag moreinfo on a new upload" -- does this mean I should create a *new* RFS (i.e. will become a new Bug) once package is rebuilt? I'll read docs about how to 'untag moreinfo'. No, the RFS is kept. The docs are at https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control. Always respond to the bug address also, so any DD can pick up when nobody responds.

Please mention the debhelper-compat change in changelog and correct it by removing debhelper (>> 9.0.0). +Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 9.0.0), debhelper-compat (= 13) That is my only objection to sponsor this. Please untag moreinfo on a new upload.

Background: I've been developing 'colordiff' for more than 20 years, but in the Debian ecosystem I've never uploaded the packages myself. Rather I've been building the packages and various individuals have sponsored the uploads. However my most recent sponsor Colin Tuckley (since 2007) is no longer able to do so.
