Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for two related packages: 1. libsdi12 0.3.0-1 2. libsdi12-verifier 0.6.0-1 Both are new packages (ITPs filed). --- libsdi12 0.3.0-1 --- * Package name : libsdi12 Version : 0.3.0-1 Upstream Author : Phillip Weinstock * URL : https://github.com/phillipweinstock/libsdi12 * License : MIT Section : libs Description : portable SDI-12 v1.4 protocol library A pure C11 implementation of the SDI-12 v1.4 serial digital interface protocol. Covers every command in the specification for both sensor (slave) and master (data recorder) roles, with zero external dependencies. Features include full v1.4 command coverage, CRC-16-IBM verification, high-volume ASCII and binary measurement modes, metadata identification, concurrent and continuous measurements, and extended commands. Binary packages: libsdi12-0 (shared library), libsdi12-dev (headers, static library, pkg-config file). ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/1130920 It can be found on mentors.debian.net: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libsdi12/ Changes since initial upload: * Initial release (closes: #1130920). --- libsdi12-verifier 0.6.0-1 --- * Package name : libsdi12-verifier Version : 0.6.0-1 Upstream Author : Phillip Weinstock * URL : https://github.com/phillipweinstock/libsdi12-verifier * License : MIT Section : electronics Description : SDI-12 v1.4 compliance tester Open-source compliance tester for SDI-12 v1.4 sensors and data recorders. Runs 47 protocol tests covering every command type, measures response timing to the microsecond, and produces plain-text or JSON compliance reports with references to the relevant spec sections. Supports sensor testing (verifier acts as recorder), recorder testing (verifier simulates a sensor), passive bus monitoring, and an interactive transparent mode for manual command entry. Build-Depends on libsdi12-dev, so libsdi12 would need to enter the archive first. Binary package: sdi12-verifier. ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/1130921 It can be found on mentors.debian.net: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libsdi12-verifier/ Changes since initial upload: * Initial release (closes: #1130921). --- Why these packages? --- SDI-12 is the dominant serial protocol for environmental sensors (weather stations, soil probes, water-quality instruments). Despite being an industry standard, no open-source SDI-12 library exists in any major Linux distribution. These two packages fill that gap: libsdi12 provides the protocol implementation, and sdi12-verifier provides a compliance testing tool for hardware developers and integrators. Both packages are lintian-clean, build reproducibly in a clean pbuilder chroot, and follow current Debian policy (4.7.2). I am the upstream author and intend to maintain both packages in Debian long-term. Regards, Phillip Weinstock
