Hi, today I packaged 'ruby-audiooutput' by Rik Hemsley as libao-ruby and now I am looking for a sponsor for the packages.

[...] This package offers Ruby bindings to libao. The package files are lintian-clean and license is DFSG-conform. btw, there was a discussion on debian-ruby about adding a ruby section to Debian.

Round 2, RFS schoolbell - A calendaring server for schools
Ok, so now after being shown a LOT of stuff I didn't know in round 1 I would like to try again. As a note for any potential sponsor I would like to say that the creation of the libschoolbell package is probably the most likely source of errors. This package contains the .so (not .so.1) files for the corresponding schoolbell package. They are not intended for use outside schoolbell and are put under the /usr/lib/libschoolbell directory and symlinked into /usr/share/schoolbell where they are needed. The packages are now linda and lintian clean and can be found here: http://www.schooltool.org/Members/jinty/debian_packaging/schoolbell-0.7/folder_contents Excerpt from original RFS: I am packaging schoolbell on behalf of upstream (Related to ITP#263088) and seeking a sponsor. Schoolbell is the first publicly available version of the Schooltool server and is a stripped down version that only deals with calendaring and scheduling between groups. This is the first wider release that people can actually test (The other schooltool packages should follow soon). Advertising plug for Schooltool: Schooltool[1] is a project to develop an open source administration suite for schools. It is privately funded by the shuttleworth foundation[2] and arose out of a need for better governance of schools in South Africa that do not have the resources for more expensive products. It is firmly GPL with some imports from Zope (ZPL 2 or greater). Personal opinion: If we can improve the administration and management of schools, especially in poor countries, even a little bit, that would be a very good thing.

Compared to simply making the source changes directly, it's obfuscated. It's also obfuscated for users who can no longer use 'dpkg-source -x' (as documented since the dawn of time) to see the source code from which programs are built; instead, they have to hunt through a maze of twisty makefiles in order to work out the correct debian/rules invocation to produce the patched source, which is different for almost every patch system used in Debian and is often poorly documented. I recommend using a good revision control system instead, which offers similar benefits to developers while leaving things clear for users.

That usually works just fine, and it what I do when I release jwhois, since I have also been doing the upstream releases. Yup, it works well for me too. This works fine when you can control the upstream releases. You just need to ensure that no upstream releases are made with incorrect or outdated debian subdirs, it's better to have such releases lack the debian subdir completely. The way I handle things, as a release procedure, is that I'll release new Debian-specific versions (-2, -3, etc.) when the changes are only in the debian directory, but for anything that affects the rest of the package, I'll release a new upstream version. I figure that if it's important enough to release a new Debian package, it's important enough to release a new upstream release too, and just make it clear to people in the release notes whether it's a bug fix they're likely to care about. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/

Compared to simply making the source changes directly, it's obfuscated. It's also obfuscated for users who can no longer use 'dpkg-source -x' (as documented since the dawn of time) to see the source code from which programs are built; instead, they have to hunt through a maze of twisty makefiles in order to work out the correct debian/rules invocation to produce the patched source, which is different for almost every patch system used in Debian and is often poorly documented. I recommend using a good revision control system instead, which offers similar benefits to developers while leaving things clear for users. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
