RFS: galinette
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "galinette".
* Package name : galinette
Version : 1.1-1
Upstream Author : Boris Lechner <boris.lechner.dev@gmail.com>
* URL : http://galinette.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL
Section : utils
It builds these binary packages:
galinette - GUI for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices
galinette-nox - CLI for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices
libgalinette-dev - Library for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices
libgalinette0 - Library for communicating with Flymaster® B1 avionics devices
The package is lintian pedantic clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 598499
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I own and use one of
these devices. I would like to see the package available in Debian and
its variants. I am also working with the upstream author to improve
the package. Indeed this package may have a VERY small audience, but I
would still like to see it available in the main repository.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/galinette
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/galinette/galinette_1.1-1.dsc

I'm not sure the package is ready for upload just yet. In particular,
I am having trouble eliminating excessive linking brought about by
cmake. In particluar, I am getting the following warnings:
[...]

[..]
I have done some investigation, and it appears that cmake has
automatically added some of these without any good reason. Hopefully a
mentor with some cmake experience can help me eliminate these issues
(despite them not being a specific packaging issue)...
Regards,
Paul.
