Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.19-1
of my package "vera".
It builds these binary packages:
dict-vera - Dictionary of computer related acronyms -- dict format
vera - Dictionary of computer related acronyms -- info format
The detailed descriptions are as follows:
,----[ dict-vera ]
| The free version of V.E.R.A. - Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms - is
| a comprehensive dictionary of computer related acronyms with more than
| 11000 entries. This package contains the dictionary formatted for use
| by the dictionary server in the dictd package.
|
| Note that this version is usually older than the one that is run on the
| V.E.R.A. homepage.

,----[ vera ]
| The free edition of V.E.R.A. - Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms - is
| a comprehensive dictionary of computer related acronyms with more than
| 11000 entries. This package contains the dictionary formatted as a
| single info file.
|
| Note that this version is usually older than the one that is run on the
| V.E.R.A. homepage.

There is one major change in the packaging, I have switched to using
quilt as a patch system. This has been slightly complicated by the fact
that I have to patch a file that upstream ships with CRLF endings in
this release and that has to be converted to Unix LF. I had to put some
extra targets into debian/rules to avoid failure of the patch/unpatch
targets in some cases. Anyway, lintian does not seem to recognize that
quilt and tofrodos are actually needed for the clean target, but I have
not added an override for that (it only warns with the -i switch).
In any case, the debdiff to the previous version is probably too large
to be useful, so I omitted it.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vera
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vera/vera_1.19-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Regards,
Sven
