Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "gforth". This is both
a new upstream version and a big update of the Debian packaging.
* Package name : gforth
Version : 0.7.3+dfsg-1
Upstream Author : Anton Ertl <anton@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at>
* URL : https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/projects/forth.html
* License : GPL-3+
Section : interpreters
It builds three binary packages that have been built with sbuild and
tested with Lintian, 'cme check dpkg', and cppcheck; they also contain
an autopkgtest suite.
gforth - GNU Forth Language Environment
gforth-common - GNU Forth architecture-independent dictionaries
gforth-lib - GNU Forth Language Environment architecture-dependent files
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/gforth
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gforth/gforth_0.7.3+dfsg-1.dsc
More information about GForth can be obtained from its upstream homepage,
https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/projects/forth.html
Changes since the last upload:
gforth (0.7.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Drop the no longer needed misc:Pre-Depends (see #783898) and go back
to overriding the dh_makeshlibs call with no action at all.
* Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8 with no changes.
* Switch Vcs-* to my full-source GitLab repository.
* Rename the "other" licenses in the copyright file since they are,
indeed, different, although the same in spirit.
* Add the 13-env-cflags patch to pass the compiler and linker flags
when building the temporary object files used for calling external
functions from Forth.
* Enable PIE in the hardening flags.
* Override the "no fortify functions" false positive for the socket.so
built by gforth's libcc interface; the gethostname() call there is
indeed safe.
* Override the "unstripped static library" Lintian warnings for
the dynamically generated libcc-named/* stubs for external functions.
* Bump the debhelper build dependency to 9.20160403 for the latest and
greatest in autoreconf and autotools-dev support.
* Add an autopkgtest suite running the installed GForth test scripts.
* Switch the upstream VCS URL in the 04-minus-number to the Savannah
Git repository.
* Drop an incorrect Origin header from the 09-elisp-auto-mode patch.
* Use the HTTPS scheme for many URLs in debian/* files.
* Add an upstream metadata file.
* Switch to libffi-dev; it seems to be available on all architectures,
unlike libffcall1-dev. Closes: #784652
* Drop the explicit build dependencies on autoconf and automake;
debhelper and dh-autoreconf will take care of what is needed.
* Teach uscan to exclude the non-DFSG documentation.
* New upstream release:
- Closes: #783435
- drop the 12-elisp-byte-compile patch, integrated upstream
* Bump the year on my debian/* copyright notice.
* Most of the dh_auto_install override in debian/rules was actually
doing dh_install's work, so move it to a dh_install override.
* Fix the separate building of arch:all and arch:any packages.
Closes: #806031
* Fix a typo in the header of the 06-configure-assumptions patch.
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 10:
- drop the dh-autoreconf dependency and invocation
- add --no-parallel to the dh invocation
- override the Lintian warning about the versioned dependency
- do not override the Lintian false positives about outdated
autotools helper files, see #820441
