Hi all! =) I'm requesting for a sponsor for my `libdevice-serialport-perl' package for the Perl module Device::SerialPort version 1.002 . This package is supposed to be under the care of Michael D. Mattice (mattice on db, LoRez on IRC,) but it hasn't been touched by him in exactly 2 years (the last upload from him was on 2004-08-10.) Since then this package has underwent 3 NMUs, the first of which severely broke the package because it somehow patched back the old release code to the new release.
I have tried pinging mattice via email and IRC, but to no avail. Sometime ago I asked for the advice of debian-qa, and I was told that taking his package seems ok now, short of a real QA upload. As such, I have taken steps to create a package with the _real_ new upstream release, closing bugs, and acknowledging the three NMUs along the way. The new package is available at Debian Mentors,[0] and it is lintian clean.
