Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a NMU to the package libu2f-host.

 * Package name    : libu2f-host
   Version         : 1.1.2-0.1
   Upstream Author : Yubico AG
 * URL             : https://developers.yubico.com/libu2f-host/
 * License         : GPL-3+
   Section         : utils

The upload fixes issues with the copyright file and symbol versionning,
and includes the latest upstream version (1.1.2).

It builds those binary packages:

 libu2f-host-dev - Development files for the U2F host C library libu2f-host
 libu2f-host0 - Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) host communication C Library
 u2f-host   - Command line tool to do Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) operations

To access further information about this package, please visit the following 
URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/libu2f-host


The proper maintainer of the package seems unresponsive, and 2 RC bugs
(FTBFS) were previously fixed by codehelp and myself after sitting
without acknowledgment for a month.

Thanks a lot to codehelp for teaching me how to handle symbol
files properly.


Best,

  nicoo

Hi,



>Appears to be good, uploaded.
>Thanks for your work!


thanks for sponsoring, I looked at the package, but I didn't have time to look 
properly
at it and reply here :)

I admit I'm a little bit lost on this change
(my fault! to be clear, this is why I'm redirecting to -mentors mail list)

all the symbols have been updated:
e.g.

[snip]

- u2fh_check_version@U2F_HOST_0.0 0.0

+ u2fh_check_version@U2F_HOST_0.0 1.0

[snip]


what does this mean? do reverse-dependencies needs a rebuild then?

reverse-depends -b libu2f-host-dev
Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* pam-u2f

I admit, I don't have a strong knowledge, so I ask:
adding symbols should be fine because there aren't ABI changes that breaks 
reverse-dependencies,
but changing the version on a current symbol does mean that the symbol changed 
and then
they need a rebuild?

thanks for sponsoring, I hope I'll lean something new from this RFS

thanks :)

G.
