RFS: siege (updated package, diffs majorly slimmed down) - attempt 2

[Tristan Greaves]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.68b7-1
of my package siege.

It builds these binary packages:
siege  - HTTP regression testing and benchmarking utility

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege/siege_2.68b7-1.dsc

This version incorporates the latest upstream, where I have pushed the
previous batch of patches to.  The result is that we are now fully lintian
clean (including under pedantic mode) and we no longer need to use quilt at
all to fix any problems!

changelog:

siege (2.68b7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * debian/control
- Builds-Depends: automake removed (no need to invoke on build now).
  quilt removed (no patches remain).
  * debian/patches
- Removed autotools_upgrade.patch (Upstream has upgraded automake).
- Removed etc_siegerc.patch (Upstream has included).
- Removed fix_cl_arguments.patch (Upstream fixed bug differently).
- Removed fix_http_headers.patch (Upstream has included).
- Removed fix_man_pages.patch (Upstream has included).
  * Fixed lintian warning: ancient-libtool-usage.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.




Kind regards

I took a quick look at your package.  Some comments bellow:

- You build-depend on cdbs, but you don't use it?
- Your debian/rules has a lot of commented dh_foo calls which should be
removed
- Why do you build-depend on ed? And why on autotools-dev?
- You package a beta version; a specific reason for that?
- Especially since your watch file only scans the real versions?

Rest seems fine to me.


Best regards,
  Alexander
