Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: proxychains@packages.debian.org
Dear mentors and proxychains maintainers,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "proxychains-ng". I am also looking
for a DD to help migrate the packaging git repository onto Debian group on
Salsa platform and grant Master role of that repo to me (hosiet-guest).
* Package name : proxychains-ng
Version : 4.12-2
Upstream Author : rofl0r <retnyg@gmx.net>
* URL : https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng
* License : GPL-2+
Section : net
It builds those binary packages:
libproxychains4 - runtime shared library for proxychains-ng
proxychains4 - redirect connections through socks/http proxies
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/proxychains-ng
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/proxychains-ng/proxychains-ng_4.12-2.dsc
Proposed git packaging repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/proxychains-ng (not available yet)
Temporary git packaging repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/hosiet-guest/proxychains-ng (should be removed after upload)
Changes since the last upload:
proxychains-ng (4.12-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Backport more patches from upstream trunk.
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.4 (no changes needed).
* Bump debhelper compat to v11.
* d/rules: Use "dh_missing --fail-missing".
* d/control: Use Salsa repo in Vcs fields.
* Use Alternatives system to provide /usr/bin/proxychains.
It is worthwhile to note that I propose to use the alternatives system (as
documented in Section 6 of Debian Policy) to handle the selection between
original proxychains project and the new proxychains-ng project.
An upload for proxychains project has been prepared [1] too and everyone are
welcome to help review it, especially the review from maintainers of the
original proxychains package. I have made it possible for those two packages
to be uploaded independently (by specifying Breaks: relationship) but it would
definitely be better if those two uploads could be made jointly.
