Bug#762680: RFS: wmanager/0.2.1-12 (refresh packaging)



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wmanager".  This upload
refreshes several aspects of the Debian packaging.

 * Package name    : wmanager
   Version         : 0.2.1-12
   Upstream Author : Meik Tessmer <fuller@daemogorgon.net>
 * URL             : http://www.daemogorgon.net/software/wmanager/
 * License         : GPL-2+
   Section         : x11

It builds a single binary package that has been tested with sbuild,
Lintian, cme, and adequate:

  wmanager   - window-manager selection tool used at X startup

I am aware of one remaining Lintian warning about the watch file not
functioning; the upstream author promised some years ago that he would
update the site.  I am slowly starting to consider adopting wmanager's
upstream development, too, but let's give the original author the
benefit of the doubt for a while longer.

The package is available at mentors.d.n:
  http://mentors.debian.net/package/wmanager
  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmanager/wmanager_0.2.1-12.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

wmanager (0.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix the Vcs-Git URL.
  * Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 9:
    - use debhelper's invocation of dpkg-buildflags, drop the versioned
      build dependency on dpkg-dev
    - use dpkg-buildflags's hardening flags, drop the build dependency
      on hardening-includes
  * Add the 05-strdup patch, replacing two unguarded uses of strcpy()
    with strdup().  Arguably the strcpy() uses were safe enough, but
    there's no harm in using strdup() and removing a Lintian warning.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6:
    - drop the DM-Upload-Allowed field
  * Split the DEP-3 author information into several Author fields for
    the patches with multiple authors.
  * Update the copyright file to the 1.0 format and bump the years of
    my Debian packaging copyright notice.
  * Rewrite wmanagerrc-update in pure Perl, replace the perl5 and chase
    dependencies with perl:Depends.
  * Drop the version from the 'menu' suggestion, satisfied in oldstable.

G'luck,
