Re: Looking for sponsor with update for Debian package
@Loren As an sponsored maintainer and hence subscriber to this mailing list, I
think a subject line with a specific ticket number, package name and -- in the
particular case -- the acronym RFS would ease to follow up the progress of
your work. Ideally it were the template reaching level 4 / Find a sponsor[1]
offers.
Inferring from your message filed by Sun, 21 Jan 2024 02:29:20 -0800 your work
relates to rpm[2] with its RFA[3] (and hence, an existing ticket) I fetched a
fork by
```
git clone http://www.north-winds.org/git/rpm.git
```
File `/debian/changelog` for your new version 4.18.2+dfsg-1 does not
explicitly mention to close (including the corresponding ticket numbers, and
a `closes: #NNNNNNN`) one of the bugs currently (15:10 UTC +1) listed on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=rpm. If
your work addressed them, may you amend accordingly the changelog file?
Are you member of the pkg-rpm-team? If not, and if the package now were
maintained by you, a successful upload to Debian likely might require an
update of debian/control, in lines of `Vcs-Browser:` and `Vcs-Git:`.
Best regards,
Norwid
