Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am the maintainer of libvisual-plugins and am looking for a sponsor for this German translation update: * Package name : libvisual-plugins Version : 1:0.4.2+dfsg-5 * URL : https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins * Section : sound It builds this binary package: libvisual-0.4-plugins - audio visualization framework plugins The signed source package is available at: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libvisual-plugins/ Download the source package with: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libv/libvisual-plugins/libvisual-plugins_0.4.2+dfsg-5.dsc Packaging review: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins/-/merge_requests/4 Upstream submission: https://github.com/Libvisual/libvisual/pull/428 This is a small follow-up to the adoption upload already in testing. It addresses #1033190 by reconciling Chris Leick's older German catalog submission with 0.4.2, preserving the existing translations and current format specifiers. It completes the debug input description, corrects the Bumpscope name, and updates translation and copyright metadata. Chris's translator credit is retained; the new changes are recorded under my name. The fix is carried as a quilt patch with a Forwarded link to upstream. It changes no plugin code, API/ABI, dependencies, or plugin selection. No change to the separate libvisual source package is required. Validation completed locally: * source package build and unstable amd64 sbuild: PASS; * installed-plugin autopkgtest: PASS, including eight headless actors; * German catalog: 109 translated messages, no fuzzy/untranslated entries; * installed .mo verified against the patched .po; negative control fails as expected with the unmodified -4 catalog; * Lintian 2.141.0: no errors or warnings, only existing pedantic/experimental tags (compat 13, upstream OpenPGP checking, and the pre-existing English "Transparant" spelling). Salsa CI status: the pipeline is not fully green. Pipeline #1168693 completed with 10 successful jobs out of 11, including amd64, i386 and source builds, autopkgtest, piuparts, blhc, debrebuild and uscan: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins/-/pipelines/1168693 The only failed job is Lintian. The CI image cannot load Params::Util ("Can't locate Params/Util.pm in @INC") and aborts before package analysis. The job log is here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libvisual-plugins/-/jobs/10297014 The same Lintian version, 2.141.0, completes the checks locally with no errors or warnings. I have kept the tested source package unchanged on mentors rather than adding a package-specific workaround for the CI image. No CI checks have been disabled or made optional. I am reporting this failure explicitly and would welcome your review of the existing candidate. Changes since the last upload: libvisual-plugins (1:0.4.2+dfsg-5) unstable; urgency=medium . * Reconcile the German translation update from Chris Leick with the current catalog, preserving the 0.4.2 strings and format specifiers. Complete the debug input description, correct the Bumpscope name and update the translation metadata. (Closes: #1033190) Simon, I have copied you following your suggestion to use an RFS for future sponsorship requests. Thank you again for sponsoring the adoption. Best regards, Federico Molara
