This might also be of interest to package/maintain/integrate:

I saw a comment about the --security arguments to hdparm being
somewhat unreliable.

yes, you have to sign them.
By default the key is searched with a match on the debian/changelog last entry.
You can override it by exporting
export DEBEMAIL='youremail'
export DEBFULLNAME='name surname'
export DEBSIGN_KEYID='key fingerprint'
export DEB_SIGN_KEYID='key fingerprint'


debsign doesn't pay attention to any of these environment variables.
To specify key ID for debsign, you should put DEBSIGN_KEYID in the 
configuration file ~/.devscripts.

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer

[Ivan Gimenez]

Excellent point Ginfranco

That will help me for sure when I had all the changes on package
ready to upload. I was trying to build it for testing purposes, so as my
very much appreciated debian mentor told me, adding the options -us -uc
 would suffice.

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer

[Ivan Gimenez]

Hi Alex

Sorry if the question is dumb...
Just cloned and while trying to build the package I got

igimenez@debian:~/debian/hdparm$ gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new
[...]
Now signing changes and any dsc files...
 signfile hdparm_9.48-1.dsc Alexandre Mestiashvili <
a...@biotec.tu-dresden.de>
gpg: skipped "Alexandre Mestiashvili ": secret
key not available
gpg: /tmp/debsign.I9P72zOS/hdparm_9.48-1.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key
not available
debsign: gpg error occurred!  Aborting
debuild: fatal error at line 1295:
running debsign failed
gbp:error: 'debuild -i -I' failed: it exited with 29

Does your changes require signing them or am I missing something ?

Ivan

Hi Tobias,

Done, great feature, though I should have done that in the beginning,
now I just checked out the latest work on top of the history commits.
Hope that's fine.

Hi Alex,

great thing, though could you import the complete history via 
gbp import-dscs --debsnap? 

Thanks!

Hi All,

As there are at least 3 persons ( including me :) ) interesting in the
package, I think it will be a good use case for a collab-maint repository.
Further I suggest to use gbp [0] and also switch to debhelper.

I've played a bit already with the package and ready to push the first
draft.

Shell I go ahead and create the collab-main/hdparm.git ?  ( hope I still
have the rights for it )

Regards,
Alex

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer

Hi

For me it is ok, I am just a newbie in packaging.

I have received help from a debian mentor Anibal Montalve Salazar <
ani...@debian.org>, but I got no references for gbp
 (yet another Debian packaging toolchain ? )

what is exactly a collab-maint repository,  a Git repo for the package host
somewhere ?


I am ok with whatever, Plz go ahead creating the repo (if have permissions).

Ivan

I'm also interested in helping out. I'm not a DD but have Debian
packaging experience. Just not in the context of the larger Debian
environment.

Re: hdparm needs a new maintainer

[Ivan Gimenez]

Hi

I would like to help. I am an experienced software developer (C/C++) but
have no experience in packaging. I don't know if hdparm is hard to package
for a newbie mantainer, so If someone can mentor me on that part I would
gladly adopt the package.

Regards
Ivan

hdparm needs a new maintainer

[Raphael Hertzog]

Hello,

hdparm is a popular package which has been recently orphaned (see
#816168). It provides an udeb so it might be needed/useful in the context
of debian-installer too. There are multiple reverse dependencies too.

There are 4 RC bugs against it and a new upstream release waiting to be
packaged.

It would be nice if some people could take over the package and bring it
back to shape. Ccing debian-mentors since new contributors are likely to
follow that list.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hdparm

The package description is:
 Get/set device parameters for Linux SATA/IDE drives.
 Primary use is for enabling irq-unmasking and IDE multiplemode.

Thank you,
