Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a spondor for a QA upload of sortmail, fixing a stretch
RC bug. Although Hamish Moffatt suggested removing the package from
Debian in his orphaning bug report, popcon reports there are users and
upstream is active (they have already applied a patch I forwarded).
I have not fixed everything that could be fixed; I fixed the RC bug, and
tried to get the package into a more attractive state for adoption.
* Package name : sortmail
Version : 1:2.4-2
Upstream Author : Edward A. Falk
* URL : http://sortmail.sourceforge.net
* License : BSD-1-clause
Section : mail
Changes since the last upload:
* QA upload.
* Set maintainer to QA team (see #790732).
* Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
* Modernise d/rules:
- Bump debhelper compat & build dependency to 9 (Closes: #817673).
- Use dh sequencer, overriding dh_auto_install.
- Enable --parallel.
- Add ${misc:Depends} to bin:sortmail dependencies.
- Add d/examples.
- Add d/docs.
- Add d/install.
- Add d/manpages (Closes: #593763).
* Apply patch from Mathias Klose to fix build with ld --as-needed
(Closes: #641440).
* Add enable-debugging-symbols.patch so dh_strip can generate sortmail-dbgsym.
* Remove article from description synopsis.
* Add Vcs-* fields pointing to collab-maint.
* Add Homepage: field.
* Declare compliance with policy version 3.9.8.
- Re-encode d/copyright as UTF-8.
