I had been thinking of doing it myself, but was too busy. I am not a DD. Therefore I cannot sponsor it. But I hope a few comments will help you along your way. I can see that Jörg has made a few comments on your mentors package page which you should definitely take a look at: https://mentors.debian.net/package/live-f1 On that page you can also see that there are two information lintian warnings that you could also try and fix: - A watch fiile is missing (see https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch/) - The bumpversion-0.2.11.patch file is missing a description (see http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/) In debian/control, the link to the upstream website does not seem to work. It may be better to link to the github project page, unless you know of a better one? I know it is tempting when adopting a package to take over the debian/rules file as it was, but in the long run it may be better to move to the more modern (and simpler) "dh $@" form of a rules file: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#rules This is probably not a blocker for most sponsors though. But at least the commented lines from the rules file template should be removed. Unfortunately, when building the package twice, the clean target fails because the following files are modified/created during the build and not cleaned up: live-f1-0.2.11/po/live-f1.pot live-f1-0.2.11/po/stamp-po Other than that, the package installs fine, and runs without error. Roll on the 2015 season so I can see live race data :-) Regards, Ross
