Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the dbus-c++ package:
* Package name : dbus-c++
Version : 0.9.0-11
Upstream contact :
* URL or Web page : http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbus-cplusplus/
* License : LGPL-2.1, GPL-3+
* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dbus-cplusplus
Section : libs
The source builds the following binary packages:
libdbus-c++-1-0v5 - C++ API for D-Bus (runtime library with independent main
loop)
libdbus-c++-bin - C++ API for D-Bus (utilities)
libdbus-c++-dev - C++ API for D-Bus (development package)
libdbus-c++-doc - C++ API for D-Bus (documentation)
libdbus-c++-ecore-1-0 - C++ API for D-Bus (runtime library with Ecore main
loop)
libdbus-c++-glib-1-0 - C++ API for D-Bus (runtime library with GLib main loop)
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/dbus-c++/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this
command:
dget -x

Changes since the last upload:
dbus-c++ (0.9.0-11) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
* QA upload.
* Add 09_fix_build_order_and_linking.patch to change the order in which the
libraries are built and to fix the underlinking issue. (Closes: #889114)
* Add 10_prevent_deadlock_on_timeout_expiration.patch to prevent a possible
deadlock. (Closes: #956114)
* Add 11_fix_MessageIter__copy_data.patch to fix copying nested types in
dicts and structs. (LP: #1098723)
* Add 12_autoconf_update.patch to avoid hard-to-read deprecation warnings
that clutter the build logs.
* Update 01_host_name_max.patch because stdio.h is needed by perror().
* debian/control:
+ Add libdbus-1-dev to libdbus-c++-dev's dependencies. (Closes: #1018771)
+ Fix spelling and capitalization of the package descriptions.
+ Put libdbus-c++-ecore-1.so.* and libdbus-c++-glib-1.so.* in their own
binary packages libdbus-c++-ecore-1-0 and libdbus-c++-glib-1-0 resp.
to avoid pulling in e.g. Ecore libraries (and their dependencies) on
systems where these libraries are not needed. (Closes: 1018772)
+ Mark libdbus-c++-bin as Multi-Arch: allowed. It fixes a regression since
version 0.9.0-9.
+ Add Rules-Requires-Root: no.
+ Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.2, no changes needed.
Mainly, this new version closes all the remaining bugs in Debian and from
Launchpad, and it fixes a regression that was introduced by version
0.9.0-9. Therefore, I think it would be good to have it in Debian 12.
I already have uploaded all individual commits to Salsa for an easier
review. You can find them at:
https://salsa.debian.org/uhle/dbus-cplusplus (forked repo)
As this is my very first attempt to upload a package to Debian, I
certainly need some kind of guidance. I don't know if I should do a merge
request on Salsa for instance. But who would respond then? This package
has been orphaned.
Best regards,
Thomas Uhle
