Package: sponsorship-requests

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my updated backport of "btrfs-progs"

Package name    : btrfs-progs
Version         : 4.7-1~bpo8+1

It builds these binary packages:

  btrfs-progs - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities

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_4.7-1~bpo8+1.dsc

Hi

>I also just uploaded 4.7.1 to Debian mentors.



thanks
>Will the deferred queue automatically drop the proposed 4.7.1 bpo in case a major regression prevents the sid package from migrating to testing?  From what I've >read on the upstream list, the currently known regressions are the fault of linux-4.6.x rather than btrfs-progs.  I really hope I can find the time to learn formal >Debian kernel packaging and package linux-4.4.x on github...but that's off-topic!


no, it won't prevent the drop, this is something I have to remember to check in today+4days
(I usually sponsor one day after the testing migration, because of this reason)
(I did the upload in deferred/6, I would appreciate you to ping me when the current one migrates, and I'll reschedule it)

>On a more closely related note, I've now met with two DDs in Montréal (Antoine Baupré and Alexandre Viau), and we've signed each other's keys.  Do you think I'm >ready to proceed with an DM application for backports of btrfs-progs?  If so, would you advocate for me?  If not, what do I need to work on?


this is something difficult unfortunately :(
the reason is that I can't give you DM permissions for backports-only, and the maintainer rejected your comaintaining efforts, so it will be a little bit
unfair to give you DM, because you might upload stuff on unstable without permission
(not by purpose, but errors happens :) )

so, if you want to maintain some other packages/adopt packages/QA upload packages/NMU, I'll be happy to advocate you as soon
as I see your skills outside the particular btrfs-progs package
(I'm not sure I sponsored something else to you)

so, not a technical issue I would say, but more a political one :) (or both)

You already maintain mcelog, did you get in touch with your sponsor to apply for DM?

usually what I request is:
- some work/refactoring on orphaned packages (you should adopt some packages to gain DM for them
or
- ITP for new packages (looking at RFP is also fine)

two/three uploads where I don't have to nitpick/change stuff

get DM for that particular package :)


but in all the above cases, being the maintainer/uploader is something I request

G.
