Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: minor
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "dante". This is
both a new upstream version with many bugfixes and new features
and also almost a full overhaul of the Debian packaging under
the guise of using new features of the build tools.
* Package name : dante
Version : 1.4.1+dfsg-1
Upstream Author : Inferno Nettverk A/S, Norway <dante-bugs@inet.no>
* URL : http://www.inet.no/dante/
* License : other, similar to a BSD-3-Clause with two advertising clauses
Section : net
It builds those binary packages:
dante-client - SOCKS wrapper for users behind a firewall
dante-client-lib - SOCKS library preloaded in user applications
dante-server - SOCKS (v4 and v5) proxy daemon (danted)
libsocksd0 - SOCKS library for packages built using libsocksd-dev
libsocksd0-dev - Development files for compiling programs with SOCKS support
They have been built with sbuild and tested with Lintian.
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/dante
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dante/dante_1.4.1+dfsg-1.dsc
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!
Changes since the last upload:
* Fix FTBFS by depending on libtool-bin instead of libtool.
Closes: #776907
* Remove the obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed source control field.
* Note the migration to my GitLab repository in the Vcs-* fields.
* Use the default dpkg-dev source package compression method.
* Drop the versions from the autotools-dev and dpkg-dev dependencies.
* Fix the broken .so symlink in libsocksd0-dev. Closes: #715117
* Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 10:
- install into the multiarch library directory
- get the compiler and linker flags directly from debhelper
- override the "experimental debhelper version" Lintian warning
* New upstream version:
- Closes: #740749 (new upstream version)
- Closes: #731178 (tries to dlopen a linker script)
- rework some of the patches to modify the *.am files instead of
the *.in ones; Closes: #716681
- add a lot more filenames to debian/clean
- put the preloaded libdsocksd back into a separate package, now named
dante-client-lib, in preparation for socksify being able to select
the one with the correct ABI/architecture; drop the 15-lib-dante-client
patch that is no longer applicable
- update the libsocksd0 symbols file - all the internal symbols were
dropped from the public interface; this should cause no trouble,
since none of these should ever have been used by anything external.
Closes: #626316
- drop the no longer shipped TODO doc file
- update the patches
- drop the 07-rconnect patch, it seems to be handled upstream
- drop the 13-c-warnings patch, it was integrated upstream
- drop the check for PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK, we really need it; if it
turns out not to be available on some architectures, we'll figure out
ways around that
* Add Multi-Arch headers to the binary packages.
* Add the multiarch-find-lib tool to the dante-client package and
preload exactly the libraries needed for the file being executed.
This tool was obtained from my multiarch-query repository at
https://gitlab.com/roam-multiarch-tools/multiarch-query and it will
most probably be released separately soon.
Closes: #656096
* Add the 19-standards patch to add _DEFAULT_SOURCE to the _BSD_SOURCE
definition that is declared obsolete in recent libc versions; also,
add *-gnu to the triplets mask to include kFreeBSD and the Hurd.
* Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8:
- update the copyright file to the 1.0 format
* Add the 21-typos patch to fix some typographical and grammatical errors.
* Bring dante-server's danted.init script up to date:
- add an LSB Description
- source the LSB init-functions file
- add a 'status' command
* Fix the 03-configure patch's header: "Author" is a single-line field.
* Add an upstream metadata file.
* Drop the dante-server and dante-client.preinst files, upgrades from
version 0.92 are... not expected to happen.
* Drop the leftover debian/socks.h file; we've been using the upstream
one for more than ten years now.
* Use the upstream version of the socksify.1 manual page.
* Upload to unstable; dante has been gone from testing long enough
that this will not disrupt anything.
G'luck,
Peter
