Bug#704425: review for RFS sysadmin-guide

2013-05-04 Thread Bart Martens 
Hi Miklos,

On your package at mentors uploaded there on 2013-02-21 22:01 :
http://mentors.debian.net/package/sysadmin-guide

The directory debian.orig shouldn't be there.

I suggest to use debhelper and compat higher than 8.

I suggest to remove this from debian/copyright, because such information is
already in debian/changelog :

  |  In late 2012, package was orphaned and it was taken ownership by Miklos 
Quartus
  |   and improved the packaging using debhelper on Sun Jan  
6
  |  16:57:10 GMT 2013.

You must not remove the previous Debian package maintainer's copyright notice
and license if you still use parts of it.  It's OK to add your own copyright
notice and license.

Regards,

Bart Martens

Bug#702553: RFS powder

2013-05-04 Thread Bart Martens 
Hi Steven,

On your package at mentors uploaded there on 2013-02-27 10:09 :
http://mentors.debian.net/package/powder

It has almost no changes with the package already in Debian.  I suggest to not
upload this package now until you can add more useful changes.

Regards,

Bart Martens

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 
 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:

Thanks for this initiative Michael! I hope you get some interested
folks and other sponsors joining you. NMUs, QA uploads and security
updates are a great way to get involved in Debian. Anyone who is
interested in getting involved should read the relevant sections of
devref though:

Bug in lilo: ftbfs with GCC-4.8 (#701315)

2013-05-04 Thread Joachim Wiedorn 
Hello!

( based on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=701315 )

I have searched the reason for problems with gcc 4.8. I have found that
the new gcc generates other header in some lilo files (first.s and
common.s). If I take back the changes because of gcc 4.8 in the two
(generated) files then lilo can be compiled without errors.

Unfortunately I have no plan how I can find a solution for this problem.
Perhaps this is a bug of gcc 4.8? Does anyone know a way of solution?


In detail this is the difference:

My sponsorship guidelines once the freeze gets lifted

2013-05-04 Thread Michael Gilbert 
I just want to let everyone know that I will be making myself
available to sponsor packages after the freeze again.  My interest is
more toward keeping testing and testing security in good shape rather
than new and shiny stuff, although I will look at the occasional game.

With that said, here are my guidelines in order of precedence:

1.  One of the bigger problems for package transitions will be build
failures, so I'll be looking to sponsor uploads that fix FTBFS issues
affecting testing transitions.

2.  Any package that fixes a security issue.

3.  Any package that fixes a serious or high severity issue that
affects testing.

My sponsoring will especially include non-maintainer uploads, which
anyone can prepare.

There is a huge need for people willing to look at issues in packages
other than their own more regularly in order to keep testing in good
shape, and this is my attempt to make that better.  Anyway, the goal
is to try to keep the rc count somewhat low (so the freeze doesn't
happen at greater than 500 again and take over 10 months).

All packages proposed for sponsorship should be minimal-fix addressing
specific bugs in the above categories only, and not introduce new
stuff or build system changes.

You bug submission subjects should include the appropriate tags like
[RC] or [SEC] so that they catch my attention.  If I miss something,
please feel free to ping me after about a week.

Best wishes,
Mike
