Bug#845797: RFS: gramps/4.2.4~dfsg-1~bpo8+1
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking to begin backporting Gramps. I have already done that in Ubuntu a
few times, but feel guilty for not doing the same in Debian. As Gramps is NEW
to jessie-backports, I am asking for a sponsor to do the first upload for me.
I have been added to the ACL for backports, have subscribed to the backports
list, and plan to continue backporting as long as possible.
* Package name : gramps
Version : 4.2.4~dfsg-1~bpo8+1
Upstream Author : The Gramps Project
* URL : https://gramps-project.org/
* License : GPL-2
Section : gnome
It builds this binary package:
gramps - Genealogical research program
To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/gramps
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gramps/gramps_4.2.4~dfsg-1~bpo8+1.dsc
Debian packaging is available here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/gramps.git
You will need to checkout the jessie-backports branch in the git repo. Then
with a jessie cowbuilder chroot set up, I used the following incantation to
ensure the changes file has all the changelog entries
since jessie:
$ gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist=jessie -v4.1.1~dfsg-3
Changes since the last upload:
* Rebuild for jessie-backports.
* Update branch in gbp.conf & Vcs-Git URL.
Regards,
Ross Gammon
