Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "gforth". This is both a new upstream version and a big update of the Debian packaging. * Package name : gforth Version : 0.7.3+dfsg-1 Upstream Author : Anton Ertl <anton@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at> * URL : https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/projects/forth.html * License : GPL-3+ Section : interpreters It builds three binary packages that have been built with sbuild and tested with Lintian, 'cme check dpkg', and cppcheck; they also contain an autopkgtest suite. gforth - GNU Forth Language Environment gforth-common - GNU Forth architecture-independent dictionaries gforth-lib - GNU Forth Language Environment architecture-dependent files To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/gforth Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gforth/gforth_0.7.3+dfsg-1.dsc More information about GForth can be obtained from its upstream homepage, https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/projects/forth.html Changes since the last upload: gforth (0.7.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Drop the no longer needed misc:Pre-Depends (see #783898) and go back to overriding the dh_makeshlibs call with no action at all. * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8 with no changes. * Switch Vcs-* to my full-source GitLab repository. * Rename the "other" licenses in the copyright file since they are, indeed, different, although the same in spirit. * Add the 13-env-cflags patch to pass the compiler and linker flags when building the temporary object files used for calling external functions from Forth. * Enable PIE in the hardening flags. * Override the "no fortify functions" false positive for the socket.so built by gforth's libcc interface; the gethostname() call there is indeed safe. * Override the "unstripped static library" Lintian warnings for the dynamically generated libcc-named/* stubs for external functions. * Bump the debhelper build dependency to 9.20160403 for the latest and greatest in autoreconf and autotools-dev support. * Add an autopkgtest suite running the installed GForth test scripts. * Switch the upstream VCS URL in the 04-minus-number to the Savannah Git repository. * Drop an incorrect Origin header from the 09-elisp-auto-mode patch. * Use the HTTPS scheme for many URLs in debian/* files. * Add an upstream metadata file. * Switch to libffi-dev; it seems to be available on all architectures, unlike libffcall1-dev. Closes: #784652 * Drop the explicit build dependencies on autoconf and automake; debhelper and dh-autoreconf will take care of what is needed. * Teach uscan to exclude the non-DFSG documentation. * New upstream release: - Closes: #783435 - drop the 12-elisp-byte-compile patch, integrated upstream * Bump the year on my debian/* copyright notice. * Most of the dh_auto_install override in debian/rules was actually doing dh_install's work, so move it to a dh_install override. * Fix the separate building of arch:all and arch:any packages. Closes: #806031 * Fix a typo in the header of the 06-configure-assumptions patch. * Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 10: - drop the dh-autoreconf dependency and invocation - add --no-parallel to the dh invocation - override the Lintian warning about the versioned dependency - do not override the Lintian false positives about outdated autotools helper files, see #820441 -- Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:27:26 +0300 Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!
