Bug#717995: RFS: rawdog/2.18-1 [ITA]]

[Adam Sampson <ats@offog.org>]

Dear mentors,

I'm (still) looking for a sponsor for my package "rawdog".

  Package name    : rawdog
  Version         : 2.18-1
  Upstream Author : Adam Sampson <ats@offog.org> (i.e. me)
  URL             : http://offog.org/code/rawdog/
  License         : GPL-2+
  Section         : web

It builds those binary packages:

  rawdog     - RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/rawdog

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rawdog/rawdog_2.18-1.dsc

I'd like to adopt the existing package, which is currently orphaned.
(popcon reckons it has about 139 users, which means it's slightly more
popular than udhcpc but slightly less popular than python3-markdown.)

This new version fixes all the outstanding bugs, is lintian-clean and
has been considerably improved thanks to review on debian-mentors -- in
particular, thanks very much to Etienne Millon and Jakub Wilk for all
their helpful suggestions.

Changes since the last upload:

  * New maintainer (Closes: #660507)
  * New upstream release (Closes: #651080)
  * Remove Debian patch that replaced feedfinder; this was merged
    upstream and extended in rawdog 2.15. (Closes: #650776, #657206)
  * Depend on python-feedparser, which is no longer bundled with
    upstream rawdog. (Closes: #383422)
  * Recommend python-tidylib.
  * Provide a virtual python-rawdoglib package, for other packages that
    use rawdog's internal modules.
  * Update the package to use debhelper 9, which simplifies the rules
    file.
  * Update package description.
  * Add a watch file.
  * Put the copyright file into machine-readable form.
  * Install the upstream changelog.
  * Check that the package meets Debian policy version 3.9.4 (no further
    changes needed), and update Standards-Version.

To clone the Git repo for the debian/ directory:

  git clone http://offog.org/git/rawdog-debian.git

Thanks very much,
