Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "desktopfolder"
* Package name: desktopfolder
Version : 1.1.0-2
Upstream Author : José Amuedo Salmerón joseamu...@gmail.com
* URL : https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder
* License : GPL-3+
Section : x11
It builds those binary packages:
desktopfolder - Organize your desktop with panels, notes and photos
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/desktopfolder
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/desktopfolder/desktopfolder_1.1.0-2.dsc
Notes:
This is preemptive upload. I noticed that the experimental repo has uplifted
to using vala 0.44. DesktopFolder does not build with this version of vala.
Rather than wait for a FTBFS type bug report when unstable is uplifted
with a newer toolchain, please can this upload be accepted. This
includes one patch which I developed a few months ago and has been
accepted & uploaded to the upstream repo (commit detailed in the patch
header)
I have built via sbuild on the current unstable repo i.e. using vala
0.42. The binary
produced was tested ok. I then rebuilt the binary using experimental
& vala 0.44 and retested the installation and capability.
My sbuild is configured to run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built
source. One
Information lintian remains - missing autopkgtest. I dont consider it
necessary for such a test to be defined.
If appropriate I would like to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current maintainership packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)
Changes since the last upload:
* Bugfix release
- resolve FTBFS with vala 0.44
0001-Fix-compilation-issues-with-vala-0.44.patch
Regards,
David Mohammed
