Package: wnpp Severity: normal IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this package go and find a loving new maintainer for it. NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands wet. If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over. Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer, provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on <http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over. Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care just as before, of course... $ apt-cache showsrc libsort-versions-perl Package: libsort-versions-perl Binary: libsort-versions-perl Version: 1.5-2 Priority: optional Section: perl Maintainer: Florian Ernst <florian@debian.org> Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.1.0), perl (>= 5.6.0-16), libtest-simple-perl Architecture: all Standards-Version: 3.6.2 Format: 1.0 Directory: pool/main/libs/libsort-versions-perl Files: 2da4199a2e8f4126d8e6dd6ef78dc292 657 libsort-versions-perl_1.5-2.dsc 5434f948fdea6406851c77bebbd0ed19 4482 libsort-versions-perl_1.5.orig.tar.gz 67d15f644ea3b6736ff4225ce1149953 2168 libsort-versions-perl_1.5-2.diff.gz $ apt-cache show libsort-versions-perl Package: libsort-versions-perl Priority: optional Section: perl Installed-Size: 68 Maintainer: Florian Ernst <florian@debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 1.5-2 Depends: perl (>= 5.6.0-16) Filename: pool/main/libs/libsort-versions-perl/libsort-versions-perl_1.5-2_all.deb Size: 10000 MD5sum: 46ac366d3971a01590c9f109508d514b Description: Perl module for sorting of revision (and similar) numbers This is the CPAN Perl module Sort::Versions. . This module allows easy sorting (via comparisons) of mixed text and numeric strings, similar to the complex "version numbers" that many revision control packages and shared library systems use. For an explanation of the algorithm, it's easiest to look at these examples: . 1.1 < 1.2 1.1a < 1.2 1.1 < 1.1.1 1.1 < 1.1a 1.1.a < 1.1a 1 < a a < b 1 < 2 . (special handling for leading zeros) 0002 < 1 1.06 < 1.5 . (a hyphen binds looser than a period) 1-1 < 1-2 1-2 < 1.2 .
