Bug#851606: RFS: rmlint/2.4.6-1 [ITP]

[Carlos Maddela]

Dear Roger,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have made the fixes and re-uploaded the
source files as the same version (since it still has yet to be
officially released) to mentors. I have applied for access to
collab-maint (just a few minutes ago), so I probably won't be able to
push my changes for another 24 hours. For the meantime, my changes are
available in the debian branch of https://github.com/e7appew/rmlint.git.

This is the updated RFS:

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "rmlint"

 * Package name: rmlint
   Version : 2.4.6-1
   Upstream Author : Christopher Pahl 
 * URL : https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/
 * License : GPL-3
   Section : utils

  It builds these binary packages:

 rmlint - Extremely fast tool to remove filesystem lint
 rmlint-doc - HTML documentation for rmlint
 rmlint-gui - GTK+ frontend to rmlint

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/rmlint


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rmlint/rmlint_2.4.6-1.dsc

  More information about rmlint can be obtained from
https://rmlint.readthedocs.io/.

  Changes since the last upload:

  rmlint (2.4.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Initial upload to Debian. Thanks to Axel Beckert for getting
it all started, and to Roger Shimizu for suggested improvements.
(Closes: #845155)

Bug#849493: RFS: vc/1.3.0-1 [ITP]

[Mattia Rizzolo]

[ re-sending, as I screwed up the CC, sorry to those will receive the
duplicated ]


Note: I won't sponsor this package, as for a policy I don't sponsor NEW
packages for people without a track of previous contributions.

Well, RFPs have no "owner".  It's just somebody saying "pretty please
could somebody package this and upload to the archive".

Yes.
As the person who sponsored that upload to Ubuntu, I wouldn't have done
so if the RFP (that I found) was a ITP, as uploading it to Ubuntu would
have been a clear duplication of work.
Also the RFS should be marked as a blocker of the ITP, but the automated
tool doing that doesn't act on RFP packages (correctly…)

Well, I can tell you that the package in Ubuntu now is perfect to be
uploaded as it is, in particular the package at mentors is worse in the
following points:
 * Section of the binary should be libdevel, not libs
 * copyright is incomplete
 * missing watchfile
 * spurious .directory files from Dolphin (?!?)
 * the synopsis is very poor
 * dh compat 9 instead of 10

aye, they are short, but given it's already in a Ubuntu it can't really
be ignored.

Bug#854693: (kein Betreff)

[Martin Kepplinger]

just to add some advertisement for this package:

tslib had been part of wheezy and only recently got development 
attention. Having tslib in Debian again would improve Debian for 
embedded.


Debian is great, not only for "rapid prototyping", and sometimes 
devices' touch screens need tslib.


thanks
