Hi Xiyue, when packaging a git snapshot, I feel this should be indicated in the upstream version that it is based on the old one, something like <last-upstream-version>+<git-snapshot-indicator>
In your case I'd 20210802+git20231023 as upstream version. Long time ago I did something like that for dhewm3, you can see the watch file here: https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/dhewm3/-/blob/debian/1.5.0+git20181221+dfsg-1/debian/watch?ref_type=tags (not marking moreinfo, as other people might see that differently.) -- tobi On Sun, Apr 21, 2024 at 10:02:48AM -0700, Xiyue Deng wrote: > Package: sponsorship-requests > Severity: normal > > Dear mentors, > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "lua-mode": > > * Package name : lua-mode > Version : 20231023~git-1 > Upstream contact : immerrr <imme...@gmail.com> > * URL : https://github.com/immerrr/lua-mode > * License : GPL-3+ > * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/lua-mode > Section : lisp > > The source builds the following binary packages: > > elpa-lua-mode - Emacs major-mode for editing Lua programs > > To access further information about this package, please visit the following > URL: > > https://mentors.debian.net/package/lua-mode/ > > Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: > > dget -x > https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lua-mode/lua-mode_20231023~git-1.dsc > > Changes since the last upload: > > lua-mode (20231023~git-1) unstable; urgency=medium > . > * Sync to latest upstream snapshot (d074e41) > * Drop the patch applied upstream and reorder the remaining patch > * Update upstream license to GPL-3+ following upstream change > * Add a missing upstream copyright holder > > Regards, > -- > Xiyue Deng >
