Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my non-maintainer upload of package "apt-show-versions" to DELAYED/<something>.
* Package name : apt-show-versions Version : 0.16+nmu1 Upstream Author : Christoph Martin <christoph.mar...@.uni-mainz.de> (he is also the maintainer of this package) * License : GPL-2 Section : admin It builds these binary packages: apt-show-versions - lists available package versions with distribution The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix this bug 612765 [0], which fixes the inability of a-s-v to parse the InRelease files APT downloads since version 0.8.11 if available (which is true for at least the debian archive). The result is that the default output shows: apt/unknown uptodate 0.8.11.5 Note the 'unknown' as it can't find the Release file to parse the codename. So the bug isn't critical at all, "just" annoying for a user and depending on your user pattern could be severity 'important'… (given that it breaks the usecase depicted in the short description) I am not a perl programmer nor even a regular user of a-s-v, so i would prefer if someone with at least a bit of perl knowledge could have a look, through the fix is just a trivial one line change. I have also fixed a few lintian warnings in this upload to make the package a bit more robust, but i am free to remove them if a sponsor would prefer it. Looking at the other packages of the Maintainer it seems like he is unfortunately MIA btw. (And to make it clear: I don't intend to adopt/take over this package.) The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/apt-show-versions - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/apt-show-versions/apt-show-versions_0.16+nmu1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
