Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for this update of "btrfs-progs".  I have
chosen to update to v4.5.3, because this version does not trigger a
bug when combined with linux-4.6.x as discussed in the following
email:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56664.html

If the two patches discussed in this email are merged into linux-4.7,
I plan to package btrfs-progs-4.6.1 or v4.7 when linux-4.7 is uploaded
to unstable:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56659.html

Alternatively, this bug might be fixed in btrfs-progs-4.7.  For now,
lets use 4.5.3!  Here is the upstream changelog post-4.5.2:

  * ioctl: fix unaligned access in buffer from TREE_SEARCH; might cause SIGBUS
    on architectures that do not support unaligned access and do not perform
    any fixups
  * improved validation checks of superblock and chunk-related structures
  * subvolume sync: fix handling of -s option
  * balance: adjust timing of safety delay countdown with --full-balance
  * rescue super-recover: fix reversed condition check
  * check: fix bytes_used accounting
  * documentation updates: mount options, scrub, send, receive, select-super,
    check, mkfs
  * testing: new fuzzed images, for superblock and chunks

Package name: btrfs-progs
Version: 4.5.3-0.1
Section: admin

It builds these binary packages:

btrfs-progs - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities
btrfs-progs-dbg - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (debug)
btrfs-progs-udeb - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (udeb) (udeb)
btrfs-tools - transitional dummy package
btrfs-tools-dbg - transitional dummy package

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/btrfs-progs

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs_4.5.3-0.1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release.
  * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes needed).
  * Install upstream changelog. (Closes: #824894)
  * Fix serious errors in debian/copyright.  This is not a GPL2+ package.
    Cme was used to generate a machine-readable copyright file, then
    manual fixes were made. (Closes: #824896)
  * Add mangling rules to debian/watch to prefer non-rcN versions;
  * Add cryptographic signature verification of tarball.

Thank you,
Nicholas
