Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for my package, envctrl.
This package contains sources for kernel modules that can only be built on sparc64. I appreciate that this makes the package difficult for most people to sponsor/fully review. If you don't have such a machine, I'd still appreciate reviews of the packaging and you'll still be able to test generation of the envctrl-source package. If necessary I can provide a sponsor with shell access to my sparc64 box when the package is looking like it's ready to be uploaded. Package name: envctrl Upstream Authors: Eric Brower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, David Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.david-web.co.uk/index.php?p=envctrl License: GPL Section: misc Programming Lang: C, SPARC ASM Description: Sources for the envctrl driver This package provides the source code for the envctrl kernel modules. These modules support the environmental monitoring hardware found in Sun's E250 and E450 servers. It builds these binary packages: envctrl-source - Sources for the envctrl driver The upload would fix these bugs: 433343 - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/envctrl/envctrl_20070716-1.dsc Some notes/questions: * the package is lintian clean, as are -modules packages generated from envctrl-source * it is my intention that this package be uploaded to experimental * for reference, here is a -modules package generated from the envctrl-source package by module-assistant: http://www.david-web.co.uk/download/envctrl-modules-2.6.22.1_20070716-1_sparc.deb * even though envctrl-source is a source package, I have specified the architecture as sparc because: - i) the hardware these kernel modules support is only ever found on sparc ii) the source contains some sparc ASM * the modules only compile with kernels >= 2.6.20 - is there some way I can specify this within debian/rules? * the .orig.tar.gz was created during packaging - the module sources came from SVN; there is no upstream tarball * are -modules packages auto-generated by buildds for Debian kernels, or do I need to manually build and provide -modules packages for upload? Thanks in advance, David. -- David Johnson www.david-web.co.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
