Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "mcron".
* Package name : mcron
Version : 1.0.5-1
Upstream Author : Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net>
* URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron
* License : GPLv3
Section : utils
It builds these binary packages:
mcron - Guile-based program for running jobs at regular times
Mcron can be a fully Vixie-compatible (aka legacy replacement)
cron program. However, its configuration files can also be
expressed as Guile, with all the power (and simplicity) that
programming language delivers, and so can be infinitely flexible
in the way it schedules processes to run in the future.
This new Debian package presents mcron as a standalone program
which is installed without interference alongside an existing
cron system. It can be used by users without root privileges,
hence presents no additional security risks.
This is the first Debian package I've done, so I've been very
careful and followed all the documentation, and I think you will
find it immaculate in its presentation.
The package is totally lintian clean; it was accepted as such on
to the Debian distribution pool at the first attempt.
The upload would fix these bugs: 585617
My motivation for maintaining this package is:
I'm the upstream developer and maintainer of this official GNU
package, people keep asking for this in Debian every time I make
a GNU/Icewalkers/FreshmeatII announcement, and I'm keen to have
this generally available in Debian so I don't have to keep going
through hand-build rigmaroles to use it myself!
If I feel happy about being a Debian package maintainer, I might
consider taking my membership of the Debian project further...
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcron
- - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mcron/mcron_1.0.5-1.dsc
I would be glad and very grateful if someone would check, test
and upload this package for me.
Kind regards
Dr Dale Mellor
