Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for package "icoutils"
* Package name : icoutils
Version : 0.31.2-1.1
Upstream Author : Frank Richter <frank.richter@gmail.com>
* URL : http://www.nongnu.org/icoutils/
* License : GPL-3+
Section : graphics
It builds those binary packages:
icoutils - Create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/icoutils
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/icoutils/icoutils_0.31.2-1.1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
icoutils (0.31.2-1.1) unstable; urgency=high
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Add patch fix-wrestool.patch from upstream commit
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/icoutils.git/commit/?id=3c990fcc754c81a02ab5981d59b01025f1596b2c
to fix wrestool not extracting icons - this is a regression from 0.31.2.
Closes: #860220
----
I want to upload this low threshold NMU[1] because the bug being fixed
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860220) breaks
icoutils' wrestool entirely, and prevents gnome-exe-thumbnailer (which I
maintain) and likely others[2] from properly working. Per the regular
NMU guidelines[3], I've also waited 5 days before pushing a fix for this
severity 'important' bug. Although the stretch upload deadline is coming
up soon, I really want to fix this bug for stretch so that programs
depending on wrestool are fully functional.
