Bug#706981: RFS: distcc/3.1-6



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal [important for RC bugs, wishlist for new packages]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "distcc"

* Package name    : distcc
  Version         : 3.1-6
  Upstream Author : Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org>
* URL             : http://code.google.com/p/distcc/
* License         : GPL-2+
  Section         : devel

It builds those binary packages:

 distcc     - simple distributed compiler client and server
 distcc-pump - pump mode for distcc a distributed compiler client and server
 distccmon-gnome - GTK+ monitor for distcc a distributed client and server

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

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


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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/distcc/distcc_3.1-6.dsc


This upload aims to resolve some minor issues with the init and
maintainer scripts.  There is a more recent release candidate that is
packaged for experimental, ready to upload immediately after this
version.

A further update will include debian/copyright in DEP-5 (prepared, but
awaiting feedback on some ambiguous items), improvements to the
package descriptions, and migrating to dh_python2.

Changes since the last upload:

distcc (3.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Daniel Hartwig ]
  * distcc suggests dmucs
  * debian/distcc.init:
    - rename from distcc.init.d
    - also use "--oknodo" when restarting the daemon
  * debian/distcc.postinst:
    - simplify call to adduser
    - minor cleanup and avoid writing to stdout
  * debian/distcc.postrm:
    - do not remove the distcc user (LP: #482571)
  * debian/patches:
    - 11_lsdistcc-man.patch: fix typo to not remove lsdistcc.1 on clean
  * debian/watch:
    - update, include release candidates

  [ Daniel Schaal ]
  * debian/distcc.postinst:
    - avoid needless restart of distccd after gcc upgrades
      (Closes: #677264)

Regards
