Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wmanager". This upload
refreshes several aspects of the Debian packaging.
* Package name : wmanager
Version : 0.2.1-12
Upstream Author : Meik Tessmer <fuller@daemogorgon.net>
* URL : http://www.daemogorgon.net/software/wmanager/
* License : GPL-2+
Section : x11
It builds a single binary package that has been tested with sbuild,
Lintian, cme, and adequate:
wmanager - window-manager selection tool used at X startup
I am aware of one remaining Lintian warning about the watch file not
functioning; the upstream author promised some years ago that he would
update the site. I am slowly starting to consider adopting wmanager's
upstream development, too, but let's give the original author the
benefit of the doubt for a while longer.
The package is available at mentors.d.n:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/wmanager
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmanager/wmanager_0.2.1-12.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
wmanager (0.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix the Vcs-Git URL.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 9:
- use debhelper's invocation of dpkg-buildflags, drop the versioned
build dependency on dpkg-dev
- use dpkg-buildflags's hardening flags, drop the build dependency
on hardening-includes
* Add the 05-strdup patch, replacing two unguarded uses of strcpy()
with strdup(). Arguably the strcpy() uses were safe enough, but
there's no harm in using strdup() and removing a Lintian warning.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6:
- drop the DM-Upload-Allowed field
* Split the DEP-3 author information into several Author fields for
the patches with multiple authors.
* Update the copyright file to the 1.0 format and bump the years of
my Debian packaging copyright notice.
* Rewrite wmanagerrc-update in pure Perl, replace the perl5 and chase
dependencies with perl:Depends.
* Drop the version from the 'menu' suggestion, satisfied in oldstable.

G'luck,
