Dear mentors,

I've uploaded a new release of the spotweb package to mentors. The
initial database configuration (using dbconfig-common) wasn't working
properly, thanks to Henkjan Gersen for catching this. 

I hope the current spur of activity on the debian-mentors list will
include a review of this package; the version currently in the archive
is very outdated.

The package page on debian-mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/spotweb [1]
Source package:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/spotweb/spotweb_20130826+dfsg-1~pre6.dsc
[2]

Earlier changes compared to the last version in the archive:

 * Note: the ~pre<X> changelog entries will be merged before upload to
Debian 
 * Change dependency to fonts-liberation. Closes: #722404 
 * New upstream version (v20130826)
 * Updated debian/copyright
 * Update README.source and get-orig-source
 * Removed debian/po, not needed any more. Closes: #662123, #718528
 * Add upstream changelog
 * Updates for Apache 2.4 configuration snippets. Closes: #669806
 * Have dbconfig-common handle database upgrades
 * Use Debian-supplied jquery-form javascript library instead of
upstream
 embedded version.
 * Remove upstream embedded font files, use Debian-packaged fonts
instead.
 * The news server information is now maintained in the spotweb
database, and
 not in the configuration files. That means you will need to configure
your
 news server information again (admin/config/settings/newsservers).
 * Disable Notifo notifications, the service has been discontinued.
 * Do not exit postinst script with error if database update fails.
 Closes: #709877

Closes bugs: #669806 (Apache 2.4 migration); #709877 (postinst error);
#722303 (fonts-liberation migration)

The package is lintian clean, with two exceptions. Both of them I
believe can be ignored:
- Experimental error on symlinks to javascript libraries (probably
resulting from lintian bug#672297)
- Unknown version on NEWS entry (because I already use the version
number to be released to Debian)

I'd appreciate your reviewing the package and, if deemed worthy, upload
this new release to Debian.

Cheers

Jan-Pascal
