Bug#740043: Powerline dans Debian
❦ 9 mai 2014 20:09 -0400, Jerome Charaoui jer...@riseup.net : Il y a quelques semaines, j'ai soumis une permière version du paquet sur mentors.debian.net, voir mon RFS à https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740043 Hi! The suggestion for powerline package should not pull vim, zsh, tmux and ipython. I don't really see a use case where a user will install vim because they installed powerline. powerline enhances vim but I don't think that vim enhances powerline. The licensing of the packaging usually match the licensing upstream. This is not mandatory but this allows upstream to use patches and modifications from the Debian package. Unless you have some reason to use GPL-3, stick to Expat. Include a debian/watch file with a comment explaining that you are fetching from git because upstream doesn't make release. This will document the fact that you know about that. You need to add the build dependency to help2man. -- Make the coupling between modules visible. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan Plauger) signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Also, your package was removed from mentors.debian.net (packages get auto-removed every 20 weeks IIRC), so you'll need to re-upload your package and re-open this bug if you are still seeking sponsorship.

This package isn't orphaned, and the current maintainer doesn't seem to be MIA according to mia-query, so unless the previous maintainer approves of this, this would be considered a hostile takeover. Perhaps consider a minimal-change NMU to fix whatever RC bugs currently affect the package, if the maintainer is unresponsive right now? According to : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742990#48 It agree so no hostile takeover. BTW change are so massive that NMU is not suitable. At the very least, please document this in debian/changelog (i.e. link to that specific message in your changelog, and mention that you've added yourself as an _Uploader_ and not the Maintainer of the package). For the sake of abiding by Policy though, I'd feel a lot more comfortable sponsoring this if due procedure was followed, i.e. ask the current maintainer orphan the package by filing a wnpp bug report, and adopt it yourself. The maintainer's last message was sent on May 6, so he should be active enough to orphan the package himself (perhaps send him a friendly email with instructions?) rather than going through a lengthy process via MIA. BTW the lintian warning is spurious and I plan to fix on the lintian side (I am the lintian maintainer). That doesn't matter in this case since the lintian issue isn't the blocker.

Do you think I should make a revert and add severals commits for that release or should I do it for next ones ? the latter. you might also upload your package to mentors.debian.net to ease reviewing. Done. thanks. looking at the mentors-page, it becomes quite obvious that by now there is a newer upstream version (5.2.0) available. you might want to package the newest version. (i'm aware that your initial request for sponsorship predates swift-5.1.0; but then was then and now is now :-)) also: it's somewhat useless to mention tell lintian to not complain in your lintian-override also the override description might be a bit more to the point: what the script is used for, is not so interesting; what i find more interesting is why do you think it should stay non-executable?
