RFS: ipheth
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsorship in principle at this point for my
package 'ipheth'. The upstream version 1.0 has not yet been released,
but I would like to hit the ground running so to speak when it is.
* Package name : ipheth
Version : 1.0-1
Upstream Authors : Diego Giagio <diego@giagio.com>
Daniel Borca <dborca@yahoo.com>
* URL : http://giagio.com/wiki/moin.cgi/iPhoneEthernetDriver
* License : BSD, GPL
Section : net
It builds these binary packages:
ipheth-dkms - Linux kernel driver that adds support for iPhone tethering
ipheth-utils - pairing utility for the iPhone tethering Linux kernel driver
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 566313
My motivation for maintaining this package is:
I use ipheth and find it very useful. I also maintain a version in my
Ubuntu PPA (https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa) which is
quite widely used. I would like to see this package make its way into
Ubuntu, but would like it to be sync'd from Debian where I will
maintain it.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/ipheth
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/ipheth/ipheth_1.0-1.dsc
The package VCS is also available here:
http://github.com/pmcenery/ipheth-debian
Please don't upload the package - as version 1.0 has not been released
yet. I am primarily looking for feedback and a sponsor who will be
happy to upload it when 1.0 is out. This is my second Debian package,
so hopefully it's half-decent from the outset.
Kind regards
Paul McEnery
