Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "qiv": * Package name : qiv Version : 3.0.4-1 Upstream contact : Andy Spiegl <[email protected]> * URL : http://qiv.spiegl.de/ * License : GPL-2.0 * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian-phototools-team/qiv Section : graphics The source builds the following binary packages: qiv - Quick image viewer for X To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/qiv/ Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qiv/qiv_3.0.4-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: qiv (3.0.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New maintainer (Closes: #1153256) * Bump debhelper compat level to 14. * Add debian/upstream/metadata. * Add autopkgtests: check the command line without a display and load JPEG and PNG images with the installed qiv on a virtual X server. * qiv --root sets the X11 root window background again, fixed upstream in 3.0.2; verified with 3.0.4 on Xorg (Closes: #1110694). -- Juan Pavon <[email protected]> Tue, 10 Nov 2026 04:42:05 +0000 I am adopting qiv (ITA #1153256). It was orphaned a few days ago; the last upload was an NMU (3.0.4-0.1) that also moved the packaging to the debian-phototools-team group on Salsa. This is my second package in Debian, after stoken. Notes on the changes above: * #1110694 (qiv --root no longer sets the root window background): upstream fixed it in 3.0.2. I checked 3.0.4 on a real Xorg server (forky VM): qiv --root draws the image and the background stays after other windows cover and uncover it. * The autopkgtests check the command line without a display and that qiv decodes a JPEG and a PNG on Xvfb, and rejects a file that is not an image. qiv 3.0.4 exits 0 even when it cannot load the image (qiv_exit() ignores its argument), so load-images also checks qiv's "cannot load" message; I will report this upstream. * I left #790361 (gnome-shell crash with a 6000x26000 image) open for now. With GNOME Shell 50 (Wayland, qiv on Xwayland) it no longer crashes: mutter cannot allocate a texture that large and shows the window black. I plan to close it after this upload with the details. Testing: built in a clean unstable environment with sbuild; lintian clean (no errors, warnings, info or pedantic tags); autopkgtest 2/2 pass; piuparts install/purge test passes. Upstream (https://codeberg.org/ciberandy/qiv) is active: 3.0.4 is from April 2026 and is already packaged. The packaging is in my fork of the Salsa repository, one commit per change: https://salsa.debian.org/pav0n/qiv I don't have push access to debian-phototools-team/qiv yet; I am requesting access to the group. Thanks for your time. Regards, -- Juan Pavon
