Bug#860206: RFS: sysbench/1.0.5-1 [ITA] -- multi-threaded benchmark tool for database systems

[Sean Whitton]

Thank you for your work to adopt this package.

I'd like to review and hopefully sponsor this upload.  I do require
that we work out of git, instead of exchanging source packages via
mentors.debian.net.  I recommend the git workflow described in
dgit-maint-merge(7), but any dgit-compatible workflow is fine -- see
the other dgit-maint-*(7) manpages, and dgit-sponsorship(7).

When you publish a packaging branch for me to review, it should be
fast-forwarding, i.e., you should not rewrite history during the
review process (or indeed, after).

If this is acceptable to you, please set me as the owner of this RFS
bug, and let me know where I can find your git branch.  Otherwise, you
are quite free to wait for a different potential sponsor.

One point I noticed from your changelog: when you bump the std-ver, it
is conventional to note "no changes required" if you bumped it without
changing anything to be compliant with the new version.

Changes since last upload:
 * New upstream version:

  * Rules:
+ switch to dh sequencer with autoreconf.

  use system libs for libluajit and ck.
+ enable all hardening.
  * Control:
+ remove build-depends on cdbs, autoconf, automake, and libtool
  (obsoleted by switch to dh with autoreconf).
+ add build-depends on libaio-dev (asynchronous I/O mode support)
  (LP: #1009126), libpq-dev (for the postgresql database driver),
  python-cram (to run tests at build time), txt2man (to generate
  manpage during build), libluajit-5.1-dev, libck-dev, pkg-config
  (needed to use system luajit and ck), and vim-common (for xxd).
+ set upstream homepage to the project's github page.

  systems; fix typo in long description.

+ add 01: don't require third-party dir for build, after excluding
  it from the orig.tgz.
+ add 02: fix typo.
+ add 03: don't install tests into binary package, already run at
  build time.
+ add 04: strip env from shebang, replace with full path to
  sysbench executable.
  * Watch: point to github.
  * Remove d/TODO, all done now that postgresql support is builtin.
  * Manpage:
+ drop outdated debian/sysbench.xml and recreate based on help
  output, eliminating some typos in the process. (Closes: #793428)
+ remove incorrect examples. (Closes: #692822)
+ include options of various test modes. (LP: #1309532)
  * Copyright:
+ correct Format URI for machine-readable copyright spec.
+ update all upstream copyright and contact info.
+ add myself as a copyright holder for the packaging.
+ exclude third_party directory from orig.tgz.
  * Bump debhelper compat level to 10 (from 9).


Regards.
