Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "galinette".
* Package name : galinette Version : 1.1-1 Upstream Author : Boris Lechner <[email protected]> * URL : http://galinette.sourceforge.net * License : GPL Section : utils It builds these binary packages: galinette - GUI for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices galinette-nox - CLI for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices libgalinette-dev - Library for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices libgalinette0 - Library for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices The package is lintian pedantic clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 598499 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I own and use one of these devices. I would like to see the package available in Debian and its variants. I am also working with the upstream author to improve the package. Indeed this package may have a VERY small audience, but I would still like to see it available in the main repository. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/galinette - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/galinette/galinette_1.1-1.dsc The VCS is web browsable at the following address: http://github.com/pmcenery/galinette-debian I'm not sure the package is ready for upload just yet. In particular, I am having trouble eliminating excessive linking brought about by cmake. In particluar, I am getting the following warnings: [...] dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libftdi.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/galinette-nox/usr/bin/galinette-flash" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libfontconfig.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libm.so.6 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libatk-1.0.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette"were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libxml2.so.2 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libftdi.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on librt.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette" werenot uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette"were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libgio-2.0.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/galinette/usr/bin/galinette"were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). [..] I have done some investigation, and it appears that cmake has automatically added some of these without any good reason. Hopefully a mentor with some cmake experience can help me eliminate these issues (despite them not being a specific packaging issue)...
