Bug#733767: RFS: entr/2.5-1 [ITP] -- Run arbitrary commands when files change
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: whishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "entr":
* Package name : entr
Version : 2.5
Upstream Author : Eric Radman <ericshane@eradman.com>
* URL : http://entrproject.org/
* License : ISC, BSD-3-Clause, BSD-2-Clause
Programming Lang: C
Description : Run arbitrary commands when files change
It builds those binary packages:
entr - Run arbitrary commands when files change
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/entr
The Event Notify Test Runner (entr) runs arbitrary commands when
files change. Changes are detected through the kqueue/inotify
kernel interface.
For the prospective sponsor/reviewer:
entr is a nice, portable (runs both on BSD an Linux),
zero-configuration alternative to iwatch, inotify-tools or
fileschanged.
entr is a simple single-binary package, is properly documented and
includes a small test suite.
The package source is maintained through git, and publicly available:
https://github.com/wavexx/debian-entr/
Upstream is very responsive. Release 2.4 and 2.5 address minor
packaging concerns I had. I also use entr on a daily basis.
Thanks.
