Bug#920990: RFS: rawdog/2.23-3
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "rawdog". Vincent, CCed,
normally sponsors this package, but I think he's away at the moment and
I'm conscious that the freeze is approaching, so if someone else is able
to look at it then I'd very much appreciate it!
* Package name : rawdog
Version : 2.23-3 (or -2 -- see below)
Upstream Author : Adam Sampson <ats@offog.org>
* URL : http://offog.org/code/rawdog/
* License : GPLv2+
Section : web
It builds those binary packages:
rawdog - RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rawdog/rawdog_2.23-3.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
rawdog (2.23-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Version bump to address missing .asc file in the archive.

rawdog (2.23-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Include @ in autopkgtest dependencies. (Closes: #919580)

The change in 2.23-2 is straightforward: it's a one-line fix to correct
a mistake I made when updating the autopkgtest dependencies that is
preventing migration to testing (see #919580).
Where it gets a bit more complicated: I tried to upload -2 to
mentors.debian.net, but this failed because the .asc file isn't in the
archive. From discussion with support@mentors.debian.net a few days ago:

I've rebuilt -2 using -sa, but mentors doesn't see it as a new upload --
dput succeeds but I don't get any response back by email. So -3 is just
a version bump to get mentors to accept the package again; I'd be
equally happy with -2 being uploaded (the files for -2 are here:
https://stuff.offog.org/rawdog/ ).
Thanks very much,
