Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wmanager" to fix an important
bug in the version in testing: do not use an incorrect obsolete full
path to "update-alternatives". The release team gave me pre-approval
for unblocking the testing migration in #771160, but it would need to be
uploaded to unstable before December 5th.
* Package name : wmanager
Version : 0.2.1-12
Upstream Author : Meik Tessmer <fuller@daemogorgon.net>
* License : GPL-2+
Section : x11
It builds a single binary package:
wmanager - window-manager selection tool used at X startup
Now, I am very well aware that the version uploaded to mentors.d.n
provokes a whole lot of warnings and errors from Lintian. I do have
an updated version in my Gitorious repository, and I sent an RFS for it
about an year ago, then tried again about a month ago, then withdrew it
when the hammer dropped for the Jessie migration. This upload is
a targeted fix for #769966, it does not attempt to refresh the rest of
the packaging, and, as mentioned above, this seems to please the release
team for a testing migration.
The package is uploaded to 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
* Do not use the obsolete and incorrect full path to update-alternatives
in wmanagerrc-update. Closes: #769966
Thanks, Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
