Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1.dfsg.2-1
of my package "s5". It is a second DFSG repackaging of
the upstream 1.1 source which replaces the iepngfix.htc file
(currently under a "free if this notice is kept intact" license)
with a later version from its author distributed under LGPL-2.1+
as suggested by Simon McVittie in #563709.
While I'm here, I refreshed the Debian packaging a lot; see
the changelog entry below for details.
There is a single binary package:
s5 - A simple HTML-based presentation system
The package is almost lintian-clean; there are two warnings.
The first one is a pedantic warning about a missing upstream changelog,
which unfortunately I cannot do much about - I've contemplated extracting
a part of the HTML documentation, but it is not really enough for
a proper changelog.
Lintian also complains about a dfsg version containing a dot.
This is also true, and it was a mistake I made back when I first
repackaged it; however, I don't think there's much to be done about
it right now, not until Eric Meyer decides to release s5-1.2.
Of course, reversioning with an epoch (s5-1:1.1+dfsg.2-1) is always
an option, but IMHO not really needed in this case.
The upload would fix these bugs: 563709
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/s5/s5_1.1.dfsg.2-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
JFYI, here's the changelog entry:
s5 (1.1.dfsg.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Repackage to replace the iepngfix.htc file with a later version
obtained from the author's website that is licensed under LGPL-2.1
instead of the "free if this notice is left intact" former license.
Also replace the file within the s5-blank.zip archive.
Closes: #563709
* Update the iepngfix.htc information in the copyright file.
* Add misc:Depends to the binary package.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 with no changes.
* Refer to the GPL-2 common license file instead of the symlink.
* Minimize the rules file using debhelper override targets.
* Move the get-orig-source actions into a separate shell script and
teach them to replace the iepngfix.htc file everywhere it needs to be.
* Convert the copyright file from a relatively recent version of
the CopyrightFormat Wiki page to the DEP 5 format with minimal changes.
* Fix the Vcs-Browser URL to point at the same repository path as
the Vcs-Svn one.
* Reorder the copyright file sections so that specific exceptions
(s5.sh, iepngfix.htc) are always placed after the general sections.
* Bump the copyright years on the Debian packaging.
* Correct the s5 tool's manual page - remove the obsolete "bug" about
no config files; this has not been true for almost two years now!
* Convert to the 3.0 (quilt) source format with no changes.
