Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "jgmenu":
* Package name : jgmenu
Version : 4.3.0-1
Upstream Author : Johan Malm <jgm...@gmail.com>
* URL : https://jgmenu.github.io/

* Vcs : https://github.com/mati75/jgmenu
Section : x11
It builds those binary packages:

the
following URL:

Changes for the initial release:
jgmenu (4.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Initial release. (Closes: #882210)
One major problem: debian/copyright in your work says that the
whole
project is licensed under GPL-2+, however the LICENSE file from
upstream only gives GPLv2 license text. The README file also does
not
mention that the whole project is licensed under GPLv2 **or
later**.
Could you please contact upstream to clarify the case? The best
output
would be adding a "the whole project is licensed under GPLv2 or
later"
sentense in the README file, which would make things clear to
everyone.
P.S. I took a look at upstream's debian/copyright file at
https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu/blob/master/debian/copyright ,
in
which the upstream only mentioned GPL-2, not GPL-2+. If upstream is
only willing to release the whole project under GPL-2-only, using
GPL-
2+ is wrong and must be fixed.
Fixed in new version uploaded to mentors.
Looking at https://mentors.debian.net/package/jgmenu/ , there are
several lintian warnings. This indicates that the grammar of your
debian/copyright file is not correct. Please fix these problems.
W: jgmenu source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright expat
(line 20)
W: jgmenu source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2
(line 15)
W: jgmenu source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2+
(line 63)
Hint: you either need to paste all license texts under each License:
field, or you use "License:xxx" placeholder in each section and provide
a separate "License: xxx" plus full license text that does not attach
with any "file section" at the bottom of the debian/copyright file.
Please read
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
again (especially section 5.2.1) for the correct way of fixing these
lintian warnings.
Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
I think now it's fixed. Lintian warnings for copyright are clean.
