RFS: hexer (updated, adopted upstream, cleaned up)



Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.1.5-1
of my package "hexer".  I've adopted the upstream development of
hexer, integrated the Debian patches, cleaned it up a lot, and
fix a nasty crash (or a weird display of characters in the status line)
reported in the Debian BTS (#540571).

It builds a single binary package:
hexer      - An interactive binary editor with a Vi-like interface

The package has been tested with lintian and pbuilder.

The upload would fix these bugs: 540571 (v*printf() abuse leading to a crash)

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hexer/hexer_0.1.5-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

JFYI, here's the changelog entry:

hexer (0.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - I adopted the upstream package, too
    - all the patches were integrated upstream
    - the installation directories need to be passed in the environment
    - lots of cleanup
    - fix a crash due to abuse of the v*printf() routines (Closes: #540571)
  * No longer use quilt, drop the README.source file.
  * Add a Homepage field now that I'm providing one :)
  * Use the build hardening wrapper if the "hardening" option is enabled.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 with no changes.
  * Point the watch file and the copyright file to the new upstream page.
  * Update the copyright file.
  * Use the DEP 5 format for the copyright file header.
