Bug#792774: RFS: filters/2.54 [ITA]
* Marius Gavrilescu <marius@ieval.ro>, 2015-07-30, 01:20:
For some reason unknown to me, this message never reached me. I've just
seen it on the BTS (and subsequently found it on -mentors@lists.d.o).
BTS messages are not sent to bug submitters, unless they subscribe.
I normally assume that people looking for sponsorship are subscribed to
-mentors, and thus don't need to be CCed.
* Package name : filters
Version : 2.54
Upstream Author : Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>
* URL : http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/filters/
This redirects to https://joeyh.name/code/filters/, but there is no
2.54 there. There is no 2.54 tagged in the VCS either. So where did
this version come from?
* Set source format to 3.0 (native)
filters is no way Debian-specific, so the package should NOT be native.
The package was native before,
Right. Now is a good moment to fix it.
I know no other distributions having this package
The fact there are no download links on the homepage certainly doesn't
help with adoption by other distros. But filters is packaged at least
for FreeBSD:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/games/filters/
If necessary I can ask upstream to remove the debian/ directory from
the repository,
Removing debian/ from .orig.tar is not necessary (although I don't see a
point of keeping it either). With the "3.0 (quilt)" format, dpkg-source
nukes .orig's debian/ on unpack.
