Bug#945368: RFS: libio-pty-perl/1:1.12-0.1 [NMU] -- Perl module for pseudo tty IO

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libio-pty-perl". This is an NMU.

On Mentors, you will find a source upload. The binary upload builds with sbuild in unstable. It is Lintian-clean.

Besides closing a wishlist bug for the new upstream version, this also brings the package up to modern standards, including source format 3.0, dh in rules, DEP-5 copyright, debhelper-compat (=12), watch file, hardening and some more. It also fixes a C compiler warning (for XS).

There are two noteworthy items: First, I did not transfer the package to the Perl team, where it probably belongs. I did not contact the maintainer of record before packaging, but his last upload was in 2010. The most recent upload was from a Perl team member in 2015. Second, I used GitHub as the upstream source for copyright and watch file purposes. The homepage I set to CPAN.

* Package name : libio-pty-perl
Version : 1:1.12-0.1
Upstream Author : Todd Rinaldo <toddr@cpan.org>
* URL : https://metacpan.org/pod/IO::Tty
* License : Artistic
* Vcs : None

It builds those binary packages:

libio-pty-perl - Perl module for pseudo tty IO

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
