Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "farbfeld"
* Package name : farbfeld
Version : 2.20170109-1
Upstream Author : Laslo Hunhold <d...@frign.de>
* Url : http://tools.suckless.org/farbfeld
* Licenses : ISC
Programming Lang : C
Section : graphics
Farbfeld is a lossless image-format designed to be parsed and piped
easily. It is designed to be as simple as possible, leaving the task
of compression to outside tools, beating PNG's filesize in many
cases.
.
This package contains tools for converting between farbfeld format
and other image formats (png, jpeg, ppm, pam, git)
It builds those binary packages:
* farbfeld
Please note, that package is maintained with dgit(1) tool using
dgit-maint-merge(7) workflow. In particular, it means that quilt
patches are squashed in source package and are not intended for
review. For more information about how to sponsor this package,
see dgit-sponsorship(7).
Git repository:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/farbfeld.git
Git branch: master
Orig tar.gz: from tag 2.20170109
With /bin/sh following commands should suffice:
$ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/farbfeld.git
farbfeld
$ cd farbfeld
$ git archive -o ../farbfeld_2.20170109.orig.tar.xz 2.20170109
$ dgit sbuild
Regards,
Dmitry Bogatov

Right, dgit creates the tag during the upload.
You probably want to fetch the tag from dgit-repos.[1]

Ah, really? I didn't realise that.

Urgh, indeed, that's not very user-friendly.

Right, not sure why I suggested that.
