Bug#187423: gURLChecker
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi Daniel,
just a little sidenote: if you reply to a mail concerning a bug in Debian
(in this case your ITP bug), it's a good idea to send a CC of your mail to
the bug itself. This way, other people interested can see what's going on.
I quoted all relevant parts of your mail, so there's no need to send your
mail again to 187423@bugs.debian.org.
And now for the real answer:

Well, that's good to hear. ;-)

I would do that of course, if only I could... I'm not a developer either,
so I cannot upload directly. I had always success in the past asking for a
sponsor on the -mentors mailing list.
Sometimes, the people on -mentors seem to be quite busy themselves, so
maybe your request for sponsorship was silently forgotten. In this case, if
you don't get any response within a few days, just repost your RFS. Usually
those guys are really helpful and willing to upload the package for you. If
you've made some mistakes in the packaging, they'll tell you what you
should do to correct them.
You'll have to provide the .diff.gz file somewhere; I couldn't find it on
your homepage.
Ideally, your mail to debian-mentors@lists.debian.org should contain the
following:
- - short desciption of the package (like the ITP)
- - URLs where to get the source (.orig.tar.gz) and your patches (.diff.gz)
I'd think that you'll get a sponsor then.
Good luck,
- --
Tobias
