Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Hi mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package igb. * Package name : igb Version : 5.3.3.2-1 Upstream Author : Intel Corporation * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C Description : dkms source for the igb network driver It builds this binary package: igb-dkms - dkms source for the igb network driver The package is on m.d.n : http://mentors.debian.net/package/igb Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/igb/igb_5.3.3.2-1.dsc More information about igb can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ or https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-82580-I350-and-I210-211-Based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-for-Linux- You can also check the ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804258 The package is needed because the in-tree driver doesn't have advanced features such as interrupt throttle, multiqueue or Large Receive Offload. As far as I can see, there is no firmware blob loading that should prevent including it in main, but if I'm proven wrong I'd settle for a non-free upload. Note that I already have a sponsor for my other packaging work (as a member of the perl pkg team), but this particular package obviously doesn't belong to this team, hence this RFS. Also, I use git-buildpackage for the packaging work. For now, the Debian packaging is hosted on github (see Vcs-* URL in the package). I'd like to move it to anonvcs.debian.org, but I'd need my sponsor to create the repository in collab-maint. Even if you don't want to sponsor the package, I'd be glad if you could create this repo. Cheers, -- Clément (nodens)
