RFS: setserial -- Controls configuration of serial ports
Hello, I searching an sponsor for the setserial package. * Package name : setserial Version : 2.17 * License : GPL Description : Controls configuration of serial ports Set and/or report the configuration information associated with a serial port. This information includes what I/O port and which IRQ a particular serial port is using. . This version has a completely new approach to configuration, so if you have a setup other than the standard ttyS0 and 1, you will have to get your hands dirty. . By default, only COM1-4 are configured by the kernel, using IRQ 3 and 4. If you have other serial ports (such as an AST Fourport card), or if you have mapped the IRQs differently (perhaps COM3 and 4 to other IRQs to allow concurrent access with COM1 and 2) then you must have this package. ITA: #285355 The new debian version of this package fixes some wish list bugs and some lintian errors.

I would actually expect what you have described but seems that it's not like that. Mentors uses the simple dinstall method but the Debian archive has a full-fledged dak running. So you would not be able to change something in a revision already uploaded to the official archives. Regards, Philipp Kern PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Don't do this. If it isn't fixed in the changes described by this changelog, don't close the bug in the changelog. Instead, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and describe the reason why it should be closed as fixed in 2.17-40 but not closed at upload. * New maintainer.

More like 2.17-42 I would say, but yes. Though I'm no DD myself, the way I understood the tools, you can't upload the same revision twice (with different content) without asking FTP-masters to remove the older version first. Uploading a new revision is much easier and straight-forward. cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I would like to takeover the maintanence of setserial package since it's current maintainer if looking for a replacement. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=285355 However I'm not a DD so I would need a sponsor.

I'm Debian user for years and I would like to give something back. I use serial ports rather often, thow I don't have any special HW. I did not maintain any Debian package before, but as I checked this one is not very complex so it could be nice to start with it. This sounds really nice. Please go ahead. Some things though. Are you a debian developer? Or can you get someone else to sponsor you?

Request for sponsor for some package should contain: 1) description of package I thought that this is already debian package that I don't have to repeat the same info, but here is link with description: http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/setserial 2) url to prepared package non except official ones done by current maintainer. http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/setserial.html and when it's adoption would be great to see 3) changelog, preferably with some fixes for outstanding bugs there are no outstanding bugs reported so there is nothing to fix at the moment. Does this mean that we, me and current maintainer, should wait for some outstadnig bug before he could hand the package to me? Or what should be the procedure?

It's actually inverse order. Noone will sponsor you or even promise sponsoring if you have nothing to show. You don't have to be DD for preparing new revision of package. Only uploading part needs DD access, and you should ask for sponsor having something to upload. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
