[Harald Jenny <harald@a-little-linux-box.at>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "amavisd-milter":

 * Package name    : amavisd-milter
   Version         : 1.7.1-2
   Upstream Author : Petr Rehor <rx@rx.cz>
 * URL             : https://github.com/prehor/amavisd-milter
 * License         : ISC, BSD-3-clause, BSD-like
 * Vcs             :
 * https://salsa.debian.org/haraldj-guest/amavisd-milter
   Section         : mail

It builds those binary packages:

  amavisd-milter - amavisd-new interface for milter-capable MTAs

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/amavisd-milter/

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

  dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/amavisd-milter/amavisd-milter_1.7.1-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 amavisd-milter (1.7.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/control:
     - Lower debhelper-compat dependency to 12 to ease backporting
       (thanks to
       Marcel Evenson).
     - Add a pre-dependency on init-system-helpers for usage of
       --skip-systemd-native invoke-rc.d flag, found by lintian (and
again
       thanks to Marcel Evenson).
     - Create patch to fix two typos in documentation found by lintian.

The following lintian remarks are open:

W: amavisd-milter: missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script amavisd-milter
Comment: The upstream maintainer does not provide an service file and
the Debian maintainer does not run systemd so there is currently nobody
who could check that a service file is working.

X: amavisd-milter source: debian-rules-uses-as-needed-linker-flag line 6
Comment: As the last Debian release is very old the package should be
backportable without much hassle.

X: amavisd-milter source: debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature
Comment: Upstream does not provide signed releases.

P: amavisd-milter source: debug-symbol-migration-possibly-complete --dbgsym-migration='amavisd-milter-dbg (<< 1.6.1-1~)' (line 20)
Comment As the last Debian release is very old this is still needed.

P: amavisd-milter source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 12
Comment: As the last Debian release is very old the package should be
backportable without much hassle.

If you intend to sponsor this package please keep in mind that I want to
do backports to at least buster (and if possible stretch) so I may
approach you for the backport(s) too.

Regards,
