Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "rawdog". Vincent, CCed, normally sponsors this package, but I think he's away at the moment and I'm conscious that the freeze is approaching, so if someone else is able to look at it then I'd very much appreciate it! * Package name : rawdog Version : 2.23-3 (or -2 -- see below) Upstream Author : Adam Sampson <[email protected]> * URL : http://offog.org/code/rawdog/ * License : GPLv2+ Section : web It builds those binary packages: rawdog - RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/rawdog Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rawdog/rawdog_2.23-3.dsc Changes since the last upload: rawdog (2.23-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Version bump to address missing .asc file in the archive. -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> Thu, 31 Jan 2019 10:00:41 +0000 rawdog (2.23-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Include @ in autopkgtest dependencies. (Closes: #919580) -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> Thu, 17 Jan 2019 16:18:03 +0000 The change in 2.23-2 is straightforward: it's a one-line fix to correct a mistake I made when updating the autopkgtest dependencies that is preventing migration to testing (see #919580). Where it gets a bit more complicated: I tried to upload -2 to mentors.debian.net, but this failed because the .asc file isn't in the archive. From discussion with [email protected] a few days ago: > From: Mattia Rizzolo <[email protected]> [...] >> dpkg-source: error: cannot fstat file ./rawdog_2.23.orig.tar.gz.asc: No such >> file or directory [...] > > Your .dsc includes a reference to the .orig.tar.gz.asc file, but that > one was not included in the upload 2.23-1 done in debian, therefore > mentors can't access it.

I've rebuilt -2 using -sa, but mentors doesn't see it as a new upload -- dput succeeds but I don't get any response back by email. So -3 is just a version bump to get mentors to accept the package again; I'd be equally happy with -2 being uploaded (the files for -2 are here: https://stuff.offog.org/rawdog/ ). Thanks very much, -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> <http://offog.org/>
