[Jason Pleau <jason@jpleau.ca>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for reviews (and possibly a sponsor) for my package "entityx":

* Package name    : entityx
  Version         : 1.1.2-1
  Upstream Author : Alec Thomas <alec@swapoff.org>
* URL             : https://github.com/alecthomas/entityx
* License         : Expat
  Section         : libs

It builds those binary packages:

  libentityx-doc   : fast, type-safe C++ Entity Component System (API
documentation)

  libentityx-dev   : fast, type-safe C++ Entity Component System
(development files)

  libentityx1      : fast, type-safe C++ Entity Component System

  libentityx1-dbg  : Debug symbols for libentityx1


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

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

  dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/entityx/entityx_1.1.2-1.dsc

For people who prefer working with git, there is also a git repository
of the packaging files available at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/entityx.git -- one can
clone it using

  git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/entityx.git

Changes since the last upload:

 * Initial release (Closes: #772414)

Additionnal notes:

1.

I added a lintian-override for the symbols file in libentityx1. The
generated symbols were different between i386 and amd64, and since I
can't test for other architectures myself I couldn't tell if they were
different on say armel for example. Any help on that is appreciated.

2.

To make the build reproducible, I had to use a newer version of
dh-strip-nondeterminism than what's available in unstable right now.
(This was to remove timestamps from PNG files)

I built the git version available here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/strip-nondeterminism.git (I
assume it'll get uploaded to unstable after jessie release).

This means my package cannot be included in Debian right now, but I'd be
happy if someone could review my package until dh-strip-determinism is
in unstable.

Thanks !
