Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.0-3
of my package "ethstats". This is a very simple, lightweight,
easy to use tool for gathering and displaying the throughput of
the network interfaces. Of course, it's far from iptraf or
wireshark, but sometimes one needs just a couple of numbers.
I'm adopting ethstats, and I've overhauled the Debian packaging
a lot, bringing it up to the current standards and tools.
It builds a single binary package:
ethstats - script that quickly measures network device throughput
The package has been tested with lintian and pbuilder.
The upload would fix these bugs: 519342
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/ethstats/ethstats_1.0-3.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Just for reference, here's the changelog entry of my adoption update:
ethstats (1.0-3) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. Closes: #519342
* Keep everything in the debian/ directory:
- remove the ethstats copy of ethstats.pl and regenerate it in
the "build" target
- move the ethstats.sgml manual page into debian/
- remove the manual page in the "clean" target
* Add a watch file.
* Use debian/compat to specify the debhelper compatibility level.
* Clean up the rules file:
- remove lots of useless commented-out stuff
- remove the useless and empty configure target
- remove the nostrip and noopt handling - it's a Perl script!
- remove lots of useless debhelper tool invocations
- move many debhelper tool invocations from the binary target to
the install target, where the dh utility would place them
- this is an arch-independent package, so use binary-indep, not
binary-arch!
* Move docbook-to-man to B-D-I from B-D.
* Remove the dot at the end of the package synopsis.
* Depend on "perl", not "perl5".
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 7:
- add misc:Depends to the binary package
- minimize the rules file
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 with no changes.
* Convert the copyright file to the machine-parseable format and
add my copyright notice.
