Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important <template> Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tack": * Package name : tack Version : 1.11+20251210-1 Upstream contact : Thomas Dickey <[email protected]> * URL : https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/tack.html * License : GPL-2+ * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/joachim-guest/tack Section : misc The source builds the following binary packages: tack - terminfo action checker To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/tack/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tack/tack_1.11+20251210-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: tack (1.11+20251210-1) unstable; urgency=medium . * New upstream snapshot. - Build-fix: term.h no longer exports termios.h definitions (Closes: #1122485). * Update upstream signing key. * Drop Rules-Requires-Root field from debian/control, redundant. * Drop Priority field from debian/control, redundant. * Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.3, no further changes needed. * Update debian/copyright. - Remove reference to the old FSF postal address, point at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ instead. - Update years. * Convert the watch files to version 5. </template> Some additional notes: the latest stable upstream release (1.11) of tack does not contain a fix for the FTBFS bug #1122485, therefore I packaged the latest snapshot instead. There are no reverse dependencies and very few users of tack, so the risk should be low. I have not yet finalized debian/changelog and tagged a release on Salsa to prevent confusion in case additional modifications are needed. Will do that once the package is accepted in the archive. Cheers, Sven
