[Dmitry Bogatov <KAction@gnu.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

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

* Package name     : cdist
  Version          : 4.8.3-1
  Upstream Author  : Nico Schottelius <nico-debian-cdist@schottelius.org>
* Url              : http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/cdist/
* Licenses         : GPL-3+,GPL-3
  Programming Lang : Python
  Section          : admin

 cdist is a usable configuration management system.
 It adheres to the KISS principle and is being used in
 small up to enterprise grade environments. It has the
 following noteworthy features:
 .
  * shell scripting configuration language
  * access to all control structures (if, case, for, while)
  * idempotent target properties
  * zero-dependencies: target system need only /bin/sh and ssh
  * push-based distribution
  * highly-scalable
 .
 cdist is an alternative to other configuration management systems
 like cfengine, bcfg2, chef and puppet.

It builds those binary packages:

  * cdist
  * cdist-doc

This package succesfully builds on debomatic machine:

  https://debomatic-i386.debian.net/distribution#unstable/cdist/4.8.3-1

Please note, that package is maintained with dgit(1) tool
using dgit-maint-merge(7) workflow. For more information about how to
sponsor this package, see dgit-sponsorship(7).

  Git repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/cdist.git
  Git branch: master

With /bin/sh following commands should suffice:

  $ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/cdist.git cdist
  $ cd cdist
  $ make -f debian/rules get-orig-source # 'gbp buildpackage' is fine
  $ dgit sbuild

Changes since last upload:

  * New upstream release
  * Refresh 'do-not-assume-git-checkout.patch'
  * Update debian/copyright
  * Use secure protocol when referring to copyright format uri.
  * Update standards version to 4.1.3 (no changes needed)
  * Update debhelper version to 11 (no changes needed)
  * Install examples of alternative scp/ssh commands

Regards,
  Dmitry Bogatov
