Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hexer"; my previous sponsor,
Erik Schanze, seems to be too busy at the moment to either upload the
package or grant me the right to upload it myself via "dak dm". This is
a new upstream version, incorporating some Debian and Ubuntu fixes,
along with some refreshments of the Debian packaging.
* Package name : hexer
Version : 0.1.8-1
Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>
* URL : http://devel.ringlet.net/editors/hexer/
* License : BSD-3
Section : utils
It builds a single binary packages that has been tested with sbuild,
Lintian, cme, and adequate:
hexer - interactive binary editor with a Vi-like interface
The package is available at mentors.d.n:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/hexer
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hexer/hexer_0.1.8-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
hexer (0.1.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Acknowledge the NMU; thanks, Thibaut and Luca!
* Switch to debhelper 9:
- get the dpkg-buildflags information from debhelper, drop the build
dependency on dpkg-dev
- get the hardening flags from debhelper, drop the build dependency
on hardening-includes
- append -DBSD to CPPFLAGS, not CFLAGS
* Add --as-needed to the linker flags so that hexer is not needlessly
linked against libncurses when it only seems to need libtinfo.
* Update the copyright file:
- bring it up to the final version of the 1.0 format specification
- add the header License field
- bump my Debian packaging copyright year
* Remove the obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed source control field.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6 with no changes.
* Do not install the README file; it documents the installation only.
* Drop the source compression options; dpkg-dev's defaults are good enough.
* Let the watch file look for *.tar.bz2 release tarballs.
* Add my PGP public key and let uscan verify the upstream signature.
* New upstream version:
- drop the negative_size patch, applied upstream
- update the upstream copyright years

I would be very grateful for any assistance with uploading this package!
G'luck,
Peter
