RFS: partlibrary (QA Upload)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.1.2.8-1-1 of the package partlibrary. It is orphaned and I don't intend to adopt it. Because of the relatively high popcon I've prepared a QA upload with the current upstream version. It builds these binary packages: partlibrary - Electrical and processing parts and symbols for QCad 2 The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 434778 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/partlibrary - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/partlibrary/partlibrary_2.1.2.8-1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me (or rather for QA :)).

You could still add a watch file, and it would also be trivial to fix at least one of the pedantic warnings here by adding the Homepage field in debian/control. By the way, here's a working watch file: version=3 http://www.ribbonsoft.com/qcad_downloads.html \ ftp://anonymous:anonym...@ribbonsoft.com/archives/partlibrary/partlibrary-(.*)\.tar\.gz I think you need to be more verbose in debian/changelog, you seemed to completely rework the structure of the source package as well as the build system (it used to use separate dh_* calls and pack the upstream zip inside the .orig.tar.gz, now you unpack the upstream source directly and use dh 7). I think this is the correct choice but it needs to be documented. IANADD so I can't sponsor your package, but it looks like a perfect candidate for a QA upload.

You're absolutely right. I was working on a different package at the same time and confused what I had done. Shouldn't have happened... :-/ I think you need to be more verbose in debian/changelog, you seemed to completely rework the structure of the source package as well as the build system (it used to use separate dh_* calls and pack the upstream zip inside the .orig.tar.gz, now you unpack the upstream source directly and use dh 7). I think this is the correct choice but it needs to be documented. Right, same reason. I've uploaded the updated package with the same version to mentors.d.n to not confuse other QA workers with entries in changelog that were never uploaded. Thanks for the review, Daniel.
