Bug#839725: uptimed: 0.4.0+git20150923.6b22106-1 [ITA]

[gustavo panizzo <gfa@zumbi.com.ar>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hello

I'm looking for an sponsor of my package uptimed,
I want to adopt this package after it was orphaned by the previous
maintainer #830765

uptimed is an old package (in debian since '99) it has many bugs open,
I fixed some bugs but others I wasn't able to reproduce them,
so my plan is to upload to experimental
and contact the reporters to see if they/I can reproduce the bugs then fix
them.

I want to upload to experimental to check if it builds reproducibly in all Debian architectures.
Be aware that I'll request another upload latter for unstable.

debian/rules and packaging in general was polished, modernized, and uploaded
to collab-maint

this is the changelog

uptimed (1:0.4.0+git20150923.6b22106-1) experimental; urgency=medium

    work (Closes: #830765)
