Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "printrun"

 * Package name    : printrun
   Version         : 1:0~20150310-1
   Upstream Author : Kliment Yanev
 * URL             : https://github.com/kliment/Printrun
 * License         : GPL-3+
   Section         : misc

It builds those binary packages:

    printrun   - 3D printing host suite

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/printrun

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command: 
    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/printrun/print
run_0~20150310-1.dsc

More information about printrun can be obtained from http://www.pronter
face.com.

This package's name might sound familiar to you since there was a
previous attempt to package printrun a few years ago by Richard Ulrich.
This work is simply a continuation of his plus an update to the latest
upstream version.

Known and Open Issues (meaning, “Advise Sought Here”):

 * The messy debian/changelog file and the "re-versioning":

The many entries in the changelog file are due to the packaging work
initiated by Richard Ulrich about five years ago. In order to give
credit for this work these entries were kept “as is”. None of them were
actually released and probably they should be modified so the term
“UNRELEASED” appeared on them.

Richard Ulrich started the packaging using a versioning scheme of the
form 1.2.3, which had nothing to do with the upstream versioning
scheme, which is in the form of YYYYMMDD. To be coherent with upstream
and ensure a potential future smooth transition to a scheme of the form
1.2.3, versioning scheme has been restarted to 1:0~YYYYMMDD.

 * Pedantic mode of Lintian warns against the lack of a proper upstream
changelog:

I do not know how to proceed here, upstream development is done via
GitHub and there are hundreds of commits from one release to another.

 * Pedantic mode of Lintian warns against unsigned upstream tarballs.

 * Executable's (binaries? is there any difference?) names:

The upstream package generates the following four executables:
- printcore, a standalone non-interactive G-Code sender
- pronsole, an interactive command-line host
- pronterface, a graphical host software with the same functionality as
pronsole
- plater, a graphical interface for placing 3D models

I have kept it this way to be coherent with upstream, but I feel it
would be better if these executables were renamed to something like the
following for coherence between the package name and its available
commands:
- printrun-core, a standalone non-interactive G-Code sender
- printrun-cli, an interactive command-line host
- printrun, a graphical host software with the same functionality as
printrun-cli
- printrun-plater, a graphical interface for placing 3D models


And one last question, if I were to modify the package after this
revision, should I delete the previous upload to debian.mentors.net and
upload the new version with the same name? or should I upload a new
version named *-2?

This is my first attempt at packaging, so every bit of advice and
guidance would be more than welcome. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,
Alvaro

Package printrun version 0~20150310-1 is in NEW now,
and the package at mentors is not newer (2016-03-03) than the package in NEW (2016-03-03),
so there is currently no package to sponsor.

https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/printrun_0~20150310-1.html
https://mentors.debian.net/package/printrun

Please remove the package from mentors or mark it "needs sponsor = no".
If for some reason you need to replace the package in NEW,
then you can upload an updated package to mentors
and feel free to reopen this RFS 814452 or open a new RFS.
