Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.7.0+ds1-1
of my package "gforth". This is an adoption upload (ITA #540827)
which pretty much overhauls the Debian packaging, fixes a long-standing
manpage rendering problem, and fixes a bug regarding the proper
compilation and installation of the Emacs Forth mode file.
Gforth used to build a single package, but with this version I'm
splitting the shared data out:
gforth - GNU Forth Language Environment
gforth-common - GNU Forth architecture-independent dictionaries
The package has been tested with lintian and pbuilder.
The upload would fix these bugs: 385399 (gforth.el), 540827 (ITA)
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gforth/gforth_0.7.0+ds1-1.dsc
JFYI, here's my adoption changelog entry. I'd be glad for any comments,
since I do realize that a whole night of hacking instead of sleeping is
liable to leave a loose end or three somewhere :)
gforth (0.7.0+ds1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. Closes: #540827
* Use quilt for patch management and add the debian/README.source file.
* Fix the build:
- specify an absolute prefix to "make install".
- remove a couple of files that "make distclean" seems to miss.
* Add the Homepage, Vcs-Svn, and Vcs-Browser control fields.
* Install the NEWS file as an upstream changelog.
* Deal with config.sub and config.guess properly - copy them from
the autotools-dev package before running "configure" and remove them
in the "clean" target.
* Keep the vmgen.1 manual page in the debian/ directory.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 7:
- version the debhelper build dependency
- add ${misc:Depends} to the binary package
- leave removing of the *-stamp files to dh_clean
- use dh_prep instead of dh_clean -k
- shorten the rules file using the dh(1) helper and override targets
- disable debhelper's verbose mode
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3:
- leave "install-info" to dpkg triggers and add the proper dependency
* Disable an i*86 "optimization" of passing the non-existing -m486
option to gcc.
* Break out /usr/share/gforth/ into a gforth-common package.
* Make three example scripts executable.
* Repackage to remove the CVS directories.
* Fix the .TQ macro invocations in the groff.1 manual page so that
the short options are actually rendered!
* Add all the copyright holders to the copyright file and convert it
to the DEP 5 format.
* Properly compile and install gforth.el. Closes: #385399.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
G'luck,
Peter
