Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking to begin backporting Gramps. I have already done that in Ubuntu a few times, but feel guilty for not doing the same in Debian. As Gramps is NEW to jessie-backports, I am asking for a sponsor to do the first upload for me. I have been added to the ACL for backports, have subscribed to the backports list, and plan to continue backporting as long as possible. * Package name : gramps Version : 4.2.4~dfsg-1~bpo8+1 Upstream Author : The Gramps Project * URL : https://gramps-project.org/ * License : GPL-2 Section : gnome It builds this binary package: gramps - Genealogical research program To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/gramps Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gramps/gramps_4.2.4~dfsg-1~bpo8+1.dsc Debian packaging is available here: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/gramps.git You will need to checkout the jessie-backports branch in the git repo. Then with a jessie cowbuilder chroot set up, I used the following incantation to ensure the changes file has all the changelog entries since jessie: $ gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist=jessie -v4.1.1~dfsg-3 Changes since the last upload: * Rebuild for jessie-backports. * Update branch in gbp.conf & Vcs-Git URL.
