Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "storebackup" * Package name: storebackup Version : 3.5-2+nmu3 Upstream Author : Heinz-Josef Claes * URL : http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/storebackup * License : GPL-3 Section : utils It builds those binary packages: storebackup - fancy compressing managing checksumming deduplicating hard-linkin 'cp -ua' To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/storebackup Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/storebackup/storebackup_3.5-2+nmu3.dsc More information about storeBackup can be obtained from http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/storebackup Changes since the last upload: * Non-maintainer upload * New Upstream release version: 3.5, (Closes: #721481, #883666) * Update patch fix-spelling-errors to match new upstream version * Fix shebang of perl-scripts to match debian policy * Update Standards-Version to 4.1.4 * Fixed wrong link to shutter.git in vcs-*-fields * Remove broken debian/watch Because I'm completely new to the debian packaging process, this is "just" an NMU in the first step. Since I'm programming for about 20 years now, I intend to contribute the debian project by adopting this orphaned package (and maybe later some more). But first things first, and now I'm looking for a sponsor and a mentor to guide me through all the Questions the docs can't answer. I'm using debian for many years and now I think it's time to give back what the project gave to me. So I spend a couple of days reading all the packaging related docs and tried my best to build this package. I've contacted the upstream author yesterday by email (without a reply yet). The original debian maintainer - Ryan Niebur - seems to be not available anymore. A comment in the BTS (#739135) from the upstream author at 16 Feb 2014 says, that the maintainer did not reply to any email. Best Regards, Oliver Meißner
