Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "bitwise":
* Package name : bitwise
Version : 0.70-1
Upstream contact : Ramon Fried <[email protected]>
* URL : https://github.com/mellowcandle/bitwise
* License : GPL-3.0+, BSD-2-clause, GFDL
* Vcs : none (packaging is not currently in a VCS)
Section : science
The source builds the following binary packages:
bitwise - Interactive bitwise operation in ncurses
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/bitwise/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bitwise/bitwise_0.70-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
bitwise (0.70-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release; skips 0.60, which was never uploaded to Debian.
* Upstream adds unary plus and minus to the expression parser, and gives
&, ^ and | the C precedence order.
* Upstream fixes a stack buffer overflow when tokenizing long tokens, and
undefined shifts at and past the width of the value.
* debian/watch: track the tarball attached to each GitHub release. The old
regex followed the git-archive endpoint, which never matched the orig
tarball actually shipped. Let uscan symlink the orig rather than mangling
the downloaded filename.
* Update Standards-Version to 4.7.4.
* debian/copyright: refresh years and restore the missing copyright holder
name.
* Bump debhelper compat to 14, adding dh-sequence-single-binary, which
compat 14 no longer activates implicitly.
* Add debian/upstream/metadata.
* Drop the redundant -Wl,--as-needed from debian/rules; it has been the
default since bullseye.
* Drop Rules-Requires-Root: no; it is the dpkg default since 1.22.13.
I am both the Debian maintainer and the upstream author of this package.
Note on lintian: mentors.debian.net runs an older lintian, which reports
recommended-field for the source Priority. Policy 4.7.3 (5.6.6) deprecates
that field when it matches the default, so it has been dropped deliberately.
Current lintian reports no warnings or errors on this package.
Regards,
