The latest upload is available at mentors.debian.net: https://mentors.debian.net/package/iwatch After this upload, I will work to find another sponsor. In preparation for this upload, I reread the Debian Policy Manual chapters 1 through 7 to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious. | Package uploaded for the unreleased distribution Revised to the unstable distribution. Also why does the iwatch_0.2.2.orig.tar.gz file have a different checksum than the one in the Debian pool? I made a mistake while repackaging the .orig.tar.gz tarball. I did not put the files under an iwatch-0.2.2/ subdirectory. Furthermore, there was no need for me to include the original source tarball in the upload to mentors.debian.net because, like you pointed out, it already exists in the Debian pool. This time, I chose NOT to include the orig tarball. Please also document your changes (debian/compat, Build-Depends, Vcs-* header, debian/source/format,...) in the changelog entry. I have added these details to my changelog entry. I also documented my minor changes to Depends and the maintainer scripts. One question for you: I assumed that you were the owner of git://git.grml.org/iwatch.git and would no longer be maintaining the sources there, so I chose to use Cahya Wirawan's upstream at https://svn.code.sf.net/p/iwatch/code/trunk/. Does this sound like a reasonable change? - Louis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#728287: RFA: iwatch
Package: wnpp Severity: normal iWatch is a realtime filesystem monitoring program. It's a simple perl script to monitor changes in specific directories/files and send email notification immediately. It reads the dir/file list from xml config file and needs inotify support in kernel (Linux Kernel = 2.6.13). I don't have any real use for iwatch any longer and therefore don't want to maintain the package anymore. Please notice that I didn't manage to reach upstream for quite some while: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=581261#12 and the latest upstream release dates back to 2009. So if someone decides to take over the package he/she should consider taking it over as upstream as well. iwatch is written in Perl (~500 lines) and we've the following open bugs: • #581261 iwatch: not all listed event types to alert on actually do anything...eg modify, attrib etc • #669291 iwatch: simply misses events • #494397 iwatch: New subdirectories in recursive mode won't be recognized • #608843 iwatch: Trouble with utf8 characters in filenames (+ 2 possible fixes) • #611996 iwatch: Strange problem with network notify If no one decides to take over iwatch by end of November I'll file a request for removal. regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
