Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my new package sun Package name: sun Version : 0.2-1 Upstream Author : Steffen Vogel p...@steffenvogel.de URL : https://github.com/stv0g/sun License : GPL Section : utils It builds those binary packages: sun - solar ephemeris calculator I wrote this tool to easily schedule the switching of my lighting for home automation. Its a stand alone binary following the unix paradigm. Its designed to be used in conjunjtion with cron, at date etc. For me this tool is extremly useful as you might note with these examples: Schedule a BIOS wakeup 10 minutes before the sunrise in Berlin: nvram-wakeup -s $(date -d -10min $(sun rise -q Berlin) +%s) Shutdown the system 10 minutes after sunset: shutdown $(date -d +10min $(src/sun set --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2) +%H:%M) Enable my lighting at cilil twiglight: echo ~/bin/enable-lightning | at $(sun set -q Frankfurt -t civil) To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/sun Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sun/sun_0.2-1.dsc More information about sun can be obtained from my blog: http://www.steffenvogel.de/2012/12/23/cron-jobs-fur-sonnenauf-untergang/ or my ITP bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=696593 Regards, Steffen Vogel -- Steffen Vogel Robensstraße 69 52070 Aachen Mail: p...@steffenvogel.de Mobil: +49 176 34911387 Web: http://www.steffenvogel.de Jabber: st...@jabber.ccc.de ICQ: 236033 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi Gregor, thanks for reviewing my package! I've fixed all points you mentioned. There still the problem that the package name (sun) might be too generic to be included in the archive.

That was quick :) There still the problem that the package name (sun) might be too generic to be included in the archive. What do you think about this concern? To be honest, I also had this concern when I read your first mail on -mentors. Something less generic might be nice if we come up with a good idea. I've collected some alternatives: solar suncal atsun sunrun suncycles - makes no sense to me suncal(c) would be my favourite at the moment. brainstorming mode Before sunset (movie title) From dusk till dawn something with 'rise' and 'set' Rise and Shine! twiglight (since it's an option) / Am Sonntag, den 23.12.2012, 23:17 +0100 schrieb gregor herrmann: - The package doesn't build on a machine / in a chroot without internet access because the tests fail: fixed.

Yup, works. - You can remove the override_dh_auto_configure in debian/rules if you use debhelper (= 9) in debian/control and 9 in debian/compat. fixed. Purely aesthetic remark: You used debhelper (= 9.0.0) now. The additional minor version has no benefit over a plain (= 9). (It also doesn't hurt to the best of my knowledge.) - Please run lintian with all bells and whistles turned on against the .changes file.

Just debian-mentor's lintian claims: newer-standards-version 3.9.4 (current is 3.9.3) Well, yes, looks like someone should update lintian on mentors.d.n :) - Installing the empty NEWS file doesn't look so helpful :) (And I'd rename docs to sun.docs for consistency with sun.manpages.) fixed. Automake requires the NEWS file. So, I removed it from debian/sun.docs. Yup, that was my idea. One last nitpick: The example with Berlin in the manpage seems to have wrong coordinates; --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2 is in the Atlantic between Britanny and Cornwall (or Finistère and Land's End). Ok, so let's think a bit about the name, and maybe somone else wants to take a look at the package, but basically this looks all very good already. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.

What do you think about this concern? I think sun is the perfect name for this tool and there is no need to change it. It is indeed too generic. Better have a not-so-generic name NOW, than problems later. I'd go with sun-cron, or something like that. Even daylight (which is likely to also be too generic) would be better than sun, IMHO... -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
