Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "ethstats"
* Package name : ethstats
Version : 1.1.0-1
Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>
* URL : http://devel.ringlet.net/net/ethstats/
* License : public domain
Section : net
I've taken the liberty of adopting the package's upstream maintenance and
refreshing the Perl programming style, as well as adding several new
minor features and optimizations. There is a single binary package:
ethstats - script that quickly measures network device throughput
It has been tested with Lintian and sbuild.
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/ethstats
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/ethstats/ethstats_1.1.0-1.dsc
Here's the Debian changelog entry:
ethstats (1.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Remove the obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed source control field.
* Switch the Vcs-* tags to my GitLab full-source repository.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 9 with no changes.
* Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.6 with no changes.
* Use perl:Depends for the binary package.
* Update the copyright file:
- convert it to version 1.0 of the copyright-format spec
- merge the PD paragraphs and explicitly place my changes into
the public domain, too
- bump the year on my debian/* copyright notice
* Use the dpkg-dev default for the Debian tarball's compression.
* Note that I'm adopting the ethstats tool's upstream maintenance:
- add the Homepage source control field
- update the watch file
- add the upstream PGP signing key
- add an upstream metadata file
- update the upstream location in the copyright file
* Add Multi-Arch: foreign to the binary package.
* New upstream release from devel.ringlet.net:
- drop the 01-getopt and 02-interface patches, applied upstream
- use the upstream build system and add a build dependency on perl
for the test suite
- use the upstream mandoc manual page and drop the build dependency
on docbook-to-man
