Bug#969291: RFS: sane-backends/1.0.31-1~experimental1 [RC] -- API library for scanners [transitional package]
Hello,
I'd like to see this new upstream release in sid so I'm taking a look
but I'm quite surprised by many things. And actually I want this fix
in the package too:
https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/merge_requests/502
First of all, why is this packaging git repository not hosted on
salsa.debian.org? I can create you a repository in the "debian"
namespace and grant you commit rights on this repository. It
would make it easier for random DD to help you out.
Then, why is this in experimental ?
I saw you switched from "libsane" to "libsane1". This was not really
warranted, the lintian warning that you fixed with this rename
was harmless and you should consider the cost to update all the
reverse build dependencies (and there are quite a few). However
now that you have added the transitional package and that you are
already gone through NEW, I guess it's ok to push this to completion.
I saw many numbered patches in debian/patches/ but the number
does not indicate the order in which they are applied. Thus I'd suggest
to drop the numbering entirely. And a few of them are likely
worth forwarding to the upstream developers... I see "Forwarded: not
needed" on patches that should be forwarded IMO.
Looking at your history on this package, have you considered asking
for the Debian Maintainer status so that you can upload that package
on your own?
Cheers,
