Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear Mentors, I hopefully already found a sponsor 'Andreas Tille' for this package, I should have already done this RFS.

Bug#857856: RFS: gmrun/0.9.2-2.2 [RC, NMU]
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the package "gmrun". * Package name: gmrun Version : 0.9.2-2.2 Upstream Author : Mihai Bazon* URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/gmrun/ * License : GPLv2 Section : x11 It builds those binary packages: gmrun - Featureful CLI-like GTK+ application launcher To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/gmrun Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gmrun/gmrun_0.9.2-2.2.dsc The automatic update ("recompiled with PIC") broke the package (because of API changes in gtk2, it now only produces sgementation faults). The uploaded package includes the patch extracted from the Fedora project (provided by Andreas Henriksson) to fix the issue. There was some discussion if there should be more changes to the package (standads version, debhelper compatibility level, additional hardening options) in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=857065 and we basically agreed to only fix the RC bug and make further changes to the package in buster (and possibly experimental) only.

If so, I apologise for the confusion. That wasn't the problem. I was failing to pass -p1 to interdiff. Thank you for double checking, anyway.

Some teams have developed a team policy that helps newcomers. I'm not sure about the pkg-electronics team but reading the Debian Science policy[3] could give some helpful hints that might be true for other teams as well. (Actually the Debian Science policy os not really well maintained, Debian Med one is better and Debian GIS and Debian Astro are more current an possibly better structured. Just do a web search and read what you consider the most readable one. Its an open task to merge those documents and just maintain group specific issues separately but nobody has taken over this task so far.) > > New packages can easily go to unstable.

Since you found >the source repos, surely you can find a name for the copyright fields? I tried hard, but failed to find definite copyright authors for these and other bitmaps; I therefore added 'Comment:' fields. In detail: iceweasel.png: I'd originally put in the 'Comment' field: "See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-gb/firefox/addon/iceweasel-branding/ which says: "Original copyright 2005-2014, Mike Hommey The artwork is copyright Unicko". I was wrong to suggest CC-BY-SA; I think that is just the license of the add-on page. The iceweasel-branding package has the same icon: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mozext/iceweasel-branding.git/plain/src/iceweasel/iceweasel_icon.svg. That package's d/copyright (http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/f/firefox-branding-iceweasel/firefox-branding-iceweasel_0.4.0_copyright) doesn't specify a separate license for the .svg icon. Globally it says: "src/iceweasel/* Copyright: 2005-2014, Mike Hommey1998-2010, Mozilla Project 2016 Desktopd Project License: MPL-2.0" so I've changed it to that, minus the 2016 entry as I copied the icon in 2008. kedit.xpm and kwrite.xpm. I added these icons in 2003 or 4, probably from SuSE 8.2 which I was using at the time. According to https://github.com/KDE/kde1-kdeutils/commit/fe8e268ff0d795017227f40b6137006a6cbc2e09 these icons were amoung those added to kdeutils in 1999 by Torsten Rahn with the comment "Painted by the kde-artist team". No copyright is mentioned there. Though grepping the package shows that some of its constituents, e.g. konsole, have separate licence files, neither kedit nor kwrite do. kdeutils itself has a GPL-2 'COPYING' file. It also has a debian; d/copyright says "Copyright: All programs are either under the GPL or the Artistic License (namely kpanel, kwm, konsole, kstart)". I can find no further information about kedit.xpm. If you feel that's sufficient to specify GPL-2, copyright Torsten Rahn 1999, I'll do so. Otherwise I don't know what is correct. Should I remove this icon from the package? kwrite is still maintained, associated with kate. http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/k/kate/kate_4.8.4-1_copyright, dated 2012, says about kwrite itself: kwrite/ Copyright: © 2010 Dominik Haumann Copyright: © 2001 Christoph Cullmann Copyright: © 2001 Joseph Wenninger Copyright: © 2001 Anders Lund License for all components unless stated otherwise: GNU Library General Public License, version 2 (LGPL-2) Again I'm happy to use that specific attribution if you consider it will apply to the xpm too. I also put 'various' for mate-text-editor.png, gedit.xpm and evince.xpm, for similar reasons. mate-text-editor.png: https://github.com/perberos/mate-text-editor/blob/master/AUTHORS gives 10 names but doesn't mention the icon specifically. gedit.xpm: For gedit itself http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/g/gedit/gedit_3.22.0-2_copyright lists 30 copyright owners, with various dates. There is no mention of the icon's creator or specific copyright. evince.xpm: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/e/evince/evince_2.30.3-2+squeeze1_copyright mentioned 9 authors in 2005. Cloning git.gnome.org/evince makes it clear that evince itself is GPL-2 but doesn't mention the icon's author or separate copyright. bitmaps/include/chardevice.xpm bitmaps/include/blockdevice.xpm: These are in kde1-kdebase. https://github.com/KDE/kde1-kdebase/blob/master/COPYING confirms the licence is GPL-2. https://github.com/KDE/kde1-kdebase/blob/master/AUTHORS says: "Look in the subdirs to get info about the authors. The package is maintained by Stephan Kulow " However the xpms aren't in a particular app's subdir, they're in pics/ together with many others and have no

Fine. BTW, in principle there is most probably room for an own Debian Electronics Blend with its own fine grained tasks.

Well, I admit I take the freedom to sponsor right from team VCS only. If you want me to sponsor your packages (which I happily do) just tell me via "Sponsoring of Blends" page the Vcs location and the task a package belongs to.

FWIW, I had no idea that a pkg-electronics team existed. ;-) Good we talked about it and please make sure that all packages that are missing on the tasks page[1] are added. This can be simply done by debcheckout -u your_id debian-science cd debian-science $EDITOR tasks/electronics git commit -a git push Any DD has commit permissions and its not to late for Stretch since an updated set of metapackages is usually accepted right before the release. I'm running a sentinel of potentially uncategorised packages and I added packages of pkg-electronics now and will send you e-mails about this in the next round. BTW, Bdale, by wearing your technical committee hat you should know about those tasks that were at some point in time displayed at installation time but now are not any more (#846002).
