Hi, I am looking for a sponsor for a new version 1.0b-4 of "axel". This is for an ITA. I originally requested Wilmer (the previous maintainer) for a sponsored upload but it has been over 2 weeks since I heard from him, hence this request to a wider audience :) It builds these binary packages: axel - A light download accelerator - Console version axel-kapt - A light download accelerator - Console version front-end The package is lintian and linda (after applying patch at #434989 to linda) clean. Bugs fixed and other changes: 196431 - Prevent crash on long URLs and also Increase max URL length. 359368 - Acknowledges /usr/doc transition NMU 419679 - ITA (adopted after speaking to Wilmer) 448964 - Remove backup (~) files that crept-in in 1.0b-3 449368 - Prevent crash if FTP CWD fails 449507 - Use strncpy instead of strcpy for length sensitive copies - Bump up Standards-Version to 3.7.2 - Correct a typo in the menu file, install menu file in /usr/share/menu/ - Cleanup the .desktop file (remove lintian warnings) - Add Homepage: to the description I have a bunch of other dpkg 1.14.6 changes (Homepage: and Vcs-* are valid fields in debian/control) that I did not commit to SVN [1] yet. I intend to release those in a later upload (because I might change to git -- I am still evaluating options). [1] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/axel/unstable/?op=log The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/axel - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/axel/axel_1.0b-4.dsc Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/
