package libpsl needs a new sponsor
Hi, I am the author and maintainer of libpsl, a dependency of package wget. So far Daniel Kahn Gillmor has been the sponsor. He has not responded to my emails asking him to upload a new version of libpsl (last one 17.11.2014). Now I am looking for a new sponsor. The latest uploaded/packaged version is 0.5.1-1. The latest release version is 0.6.2 which fixes an issue that should IMHO go into the upcoming Jessie. (It corrects a failure in the pkg-config file which prevents proper detection of libpsl presence.) The packaging is done and needs review and uploading. It can be found in a git repository (https://github.com/rockdaboot/libpsl, branch 'debian'). If there is anything else I can do, please give me a hint.

Jessie is in freeze, entering deep freeze in a few days. Prepare a fully-justified request for a release unblock, otherwise it is pointless to upload to sid (experimental is OK). It must have a full description of the reasons for the change, the diffstat of the debdiff, and a debdiff. I usually abridge from the debdiff any noise such as updates to automatically-generated files/buildsystem (configure, config.sub/guess, etc). It is likely that it would be better to just patch 0.5.1-1 with the pkg-config change, unless the changes between 0.5.1 and 0.6.2 upstream are all simple and only bugfixes. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Thanks for your answer, though I have to look up what fully-justified request for a release unblock means. Well, I could open a few bug reports to libpsl (which already have been fixed upstream)... but it seems pretty pointless ;-) I guess you are all pretty busy... I am not in a hurry and will wait for the unfreeze. Sorry for being a bit clueless about Debian organisation. It's the first time I came in contact with it.

Well, I could open a few bug reports to libpsl (which already have been fixed upstream)... but it seems pretty pointless ;-) Please open one about the pkg-config issue, describe it well, and tag it fixed-upstream... I guess you are all pretty busy... I am not in a hurry and will wait for the unfreeze. If you feel the pkg-config issue is serious enough to warrant the work, and you're really really fast at preparing a 0.5.1-2 package with the pkg-config (and debian/changelog) as the only changes, it is probably possible to get that into Debian jessie (the next Debian stable release). Sorry for being a bit clueless about Debian organisation. It's the first time I came in contact with it. It is usually much easier than this to get fixed packages in Debian, but we've frozen jessie to fix only the remaining bugs, so there are some rather draconian fixes only policies in effect right now. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
