RFS: projectm
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "projectm".
* Package name : projectm
Version : 2.0.1-1
Upstream Author : projectM Team
* URL : http://projectm.sf.net
* License : GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1
Section : sound
It builds these binary packages:
libprojectm-dev - Advanced Milkdrop-compatible music visualization library
- dev
libprojectm-qt-dev - projectM Qt4 (development files)
libprojectm-qt1 - projectM Qt4 bindings
libprojectm2 - Advanced Milkdrop-compatible music visualization library
libvisual-projectm - libvisual module for projectM
projectm-data - Advanced Milkdrop-compatible music visualization library -
data
projectm-jack - projectM JackAudio module
projectm-pulseaudio - projectM PulseAudio module
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 565355
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I use the library by myself.
There's some "special" stuff to know about this package: The package
replaces the orphaned libvisual-projectm package and
the libprojectm source package. I got authorization from the maintainer of
libprojectm to take over maintainership over this package.
The pkg produces some Lintian warnings about ancient Autotools scripts or
Windows binaries in the package. It also has some
unnecessarily linked libraries in some binaries. All this stuff should be
fixed by upstream, but upstream seems to have a lack of
manpower at time, so I can't get a clean tarball or fixes for all issues.
But the overall quality of the pkg is okay, I think. As soon as upstream
provides a new tarball, I'll switch to it, but at time
it does not seem that this will happen fast. (Upstream's busy at time...)
By including the package in Debian, a lot of other apps would benefit from
it. (Some audio-players use it for music visualization)
It might be a good idea to test the package in experimental first.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/projectm
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/projectm/projectm_2.0.1-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Matthias Klumpp
