Hello all,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.3.0 of the package "debpool".
I think Magnus (co-maintainer) has been very busy so I'm looking for a
sponsor at mentors.debian.net as well.
Some information about debpool. debpool (or DebPool) is a package archive
maintanance utility designed with the goal of removing any dependency on code
(packages) not shipped as part of the core Debian system (i.e. packages not
essential or required). It can run without the use of
non-essential/non-required packages although some packages are needed for
more functionality, such as liblinux-inotify2-perl for Inotify support.
I would also like to add that great care has been made to make debpool only
depend on packages that are essential or required. I want to change the
original goal of debpool by making it depend solely on perl, with limited use
of other perl modules and other programs that are common on *nix systems. The
idea behind this is that not only debpool becomes a more "generic" archival
tool, but also a tool that can work on Debian and non-Debian based systems
alike. In this way, upstream developers wishing to host a Debian repository
of their software can use debpool on whatever system they have access to.
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 245526, 307895, 310320, 322593, 350503,
368554, 368555, 400402, 408105, 412090, 415204, 415272, 415323, 415447,
415639, 453905, 454102, 454173, 455439, 455449, 465937
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debpool
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debpool/debpool_0.3.0.dsc
I would appreciate if someone uploaded this package for me. Also, I have added
the 'DM-Upload-Allowed: yes' field so I can upload the package myself in the
future.
One more thing, I realize that there's the debexpo project which I think has a
similar goal as debpool. I've already joined the debexpo project and am
currently watching to see what comes of it.
