Bug# 238314 new RFS: siefs - virtual fs for accessing Siemens mobiles



Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor to help me get this package into debian.

Package name     : siefs
Version          : 0.4
Upstream Author  : Dmitry Zakharov <dmitry-z@mail.ru>
URL              : http://mirror01.iptelecom.net.ua/~dmitry_z/siefs/
License          : GPL
Description      : virtual filesystem for accessing memory of Siemens mobiles
Long Description :
 SieFS is a virtual filesystem for accessing Siemens mobile phones
 memory (flexmem or MultiMediaCard). It's possible to mount your
 phone (by datacable or IRDA) and work with it like with any other
 removable storage.

The new version is 0.4-2, files are under
http://weidner.in-bad-schmiedeberg.de/debian/

I've setup a small repository so that you may add a line like this
into your /etc/apt/sources.list and 'apt-get source' the package:

deb-src http://weidner.in-bad-schmiedeberg.de/debian unstable mamawe

I have also tried to upload the files to mentors.debian.net but
apparently the orig.tar.gz didn't make it to the server. I contacted
the maintainers of this server.

There is an 'closes: #238314' in the changelog.

I contacted Dmitry Zakharov and he replied that he would apply my
solution to the problem in the next release.

There are now two binary package generated from the source: siefs and
vmo2wav. The latter conflicts with obexftp.

I'll do this next.
