Hi Andrew, I've looked at the package and will sponsor the upload. One thing I think would be good to address is the get-orig-source target in debian/rules. It can't be called directly - instead it only passes the necessary arguments to orig-tar.sh when it is invoked from uscan by way of the watch file. According to Policy [1], you should be able to call the target directly. I believe you can simply call uscan in that target in order to make use of the watch file, as in the example on the Ubuntu packaging guide wiki [2]. Cheers, tony [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Examples/ChangingTheOrigTarball On 04/10/2011 02:03 AM, Andrew Ross wrote: > Dear mentors, > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "processing-core". > > * Package name : processing-core > Version : 1.2.1-1 > Upstream Author : Ben Fry, Casey Reas and others > * URL : http://www.processing.org > * License : LGPL-2.1 > Section : java > > It builds these binary packages: > libprocessing-core-java - Java animation and interaction library > > The package appears to be lintian clean. > > The upload would fix these bugs: 621920 > > My motivation for maintaining this package is: It is a dependency for > Gephi which I plan to package soon. > > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/processing-core > - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable > main contrib non-free > - dget > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/processing-core/processing-core_1.2.1-1.dsc > > It is also in the Debian Java SVN repository: > Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/processing-core > Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/processing-core/ > > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. > > Kind regards > Andrew Ross
