Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.1.15
of my package "debsigs". This is an adoption - Branden
Robinson filed an RFA a while ago after taking care of
the debsigs package for a long time. I've fixed all of
its outstanding bugs and updated the packaging to conform
to the current standards and best practices.
There is a single binary package:
debsigs - toolset for applying cryptographic signatures to Debian packages
It has been tested with lintian and pbuilder.
The upload would fix these bugs: 98088, 161541, 161680, 163643, 175337, 175338,
457319, 522257
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debsigs/debsigs_0.1.15.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
JFYI, here's my adoption changelog entry:
debsigs (0.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. Closes: #522257
* Fix the changelog format by removing the Vim formatting codes.
* Do not install the empty /usr/sbin directory and remove
the debian/dirs file altogether.
* Convert the copyright file to the machine-parseable format and
add my copyright notice.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 7:
- store it in debian/compat
- use debian/debsigs as the build directory instead of debian/tmp
- add misc:Depends to the binary package
- remove the dh_installmanpages invocation, all the manual pages
are installed by the Perl build framework itself
- use dh_prep instead of dh_clean in the "install" target
* Remove the debian/debsigs.undocumented file - both programs listed
there have already been documented.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1:
- move debhelper to Build-Depends from Build-Depends-Indep
* Add the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser source control fields.
* Make the short description a noun phrase.
* Clean up the rules file:
- do not ignore "make clean" errors
- remove some commented-out cruft
- remove the OPTIMIZE flags to Makefile.PL - no C code here
- pass -k to dh_clean in the "install" target
- move some dh_* invocations from the "binary-indep" to the "install"
target to mimic the behavior of the dh(1) tool
- remove some dh_* invocations that simply do not apply
- finally, minimize this file using debhelper 7's dh(1) tool :)
* Stop debsigs-autosign from always passing key ID's and keyring paths
to debsigs; gpg is smart enough to figure out which key to use and
where to find it. Closes: #161541
* Make the test script include all the modules.
* Use strict mode and enable Perl warnings for all modules and scripts.
* Set the version of the debsigsmain module to the package's version.
* Bump the version of all the other modules.
* Add my copyright notice to the modules.
* Add -h and -V options and syntax() and version() functions to
all the executable scripts. Closes: #175337, #175338
* Fix a misspelled variable name in debsigs-autosign.
* Document the signature types in the debsigs usage message and
manual page, and refer to it from the debsigs-autosign ones.
Closes: #457319
* Make the binary package recommend debsig-verify. Closes: #163643
* Teach debsigs-signchanges to extract the key ID from the changes
file if it is not specified in $DEBSIGSOPTIONS. Closes: #98088
* Rework debsigs-signchanges so it recalculates all types of checksums
listed in the changes file, not just MD5 ones.
* Add the fixup() function to the arf module to read an archive file
and remove the trailing slashes in the member names. Invoke that
function in debsigs. Closes: #161680
