Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.4-3
of my package "gtkcookie". I'm trying to adopt the package,
with many updates to its Debian packaging, and to fix a bug and
a couple of compiler warnings.
Also, although I'm aware that this would be a bit unusual for
a first upload of an adopted package, I would be most grateful
if a kind sponsor would set the DM-Upload-Allowed bit - and of course,
if the sponsor should deem it inappropriate, that'd be all right, too :)
There is a single binary package:
gtkcookie - Editor for cookie files
It has been with lintian and pbuider.
The upload would fix these bugs: 414524 (ITA), 437119 (honor nostrip)
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gtkcookie/gtkcookie_0.4-3.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
JFYI, here's the latest changelog entry:
gtkcookie (0.4-3) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer. Closes: #414524
* Add the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser source control fields.
* Remove debian/conffiles - no idea what it was doing in this package :)
* Switch to debhelper:
- add a dependency on debhelper
- create debian/compat
- minimize the rules file using override targets
- remove the debian/dirs, postinst and postrm files - dh_installmenu
does its job just fine
- install the WISHLIST file using debian/docs
- add misc:Depends to the binary package
* Remove the duplicate priority specification.
* Add an empty watch file.
* Convert to the 3.0 (quilt) source format.
* Add the 01-install patch to install an unstripped binary and let
dh_strip do its work. Closes: #437119
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4:
- change the menu section Apps/Net -> Applications/Network/Web Browsing
- add the 02-cflags patch to honor the user's CFLAGS, thus also
honoring the "noopt" build option
* Add the 03-manpage patch to fix some hyphen/minus-sign confusion.
* In the extended description, note that modern browsers do not store
their cookies in plaintext files, but in SQLite databases instead;
thus, also fix the lintian "extended description too short" warning :)
* Convert the copyright file to the DEP 5 format and add my own
copyright notice for the debian/* files.
* Remove the GPL-2+ license excerpt from the debian/rules file, since
it is present in debian/copyright, and add my copyright notice to
the rules file, too.
* Add the 04-warnings patch to fix some compiler warnings.
* Pass -Werror to the compiler if the "werror" build option is set.
* Use the build hardening wrapper if the "hardening" build option is set.
