Hi, it would be nice to avoid having a possible and problematic version even in experimental.
Specially because it might be source of data-losses to the end users.

BTW, please ask xnox to comaintain the package, if you really want to help in packaging it.




NMUs are not used to upload regardless of the maintainer opinion on a daily basis, even if xnox in particular
welcomes them :)

BTW how do you feel about creating a dummy btrfs-tools-udev package too? it seems it has been left behind on the archive
probably you want to break+replace it too, right?



and now the copyright review (partial)

+ * Copyright (C) 2012 STRATO AG.  All rights reserved.

^^ missing

many of the copyrights seems to be gpl2 only, not gpl2+


e.g. 
mds-inspect-dump-super.*
cmds-inspect-dump-tree.*
cmds-inspect-tree-stats.*

some Red Hat copyrights

and probably more.


cheers,

Gianfranco

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "btrfs-progs".  I've read
upstream reports of regressions in the 4.5.x series that were solved
by downgrading to 4.4.x, so I believe that it is most appropriate to
upload to experimental at this time.  When the reports of regressions
are solved in a future upstream version I will update this package and
request an upload to sid.

Package name: btrfs-progs
Version: 4.5.2-0.1~exp1
Section: admin

It builds these binary packages:

btrfs-progs - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities
btrfs-progs-dbg - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (debug)
btrfs-progs-udeb - Checksumming Copy on Write Filesystem utilities (udeb) (udeb)
btrfs-tools - transitional dummy package
btrfs-tools-dbg - transitional dummy package

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

    https://mentors.debian.net/package/btrfs-progs

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs_4.5.2-0.1~exp1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release.
  * Add upstream changelog.
  * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes needed).
  * Add btrfs-convert support to initramfs (Closes: #801192).
  * Divert btrfs-convert to a wrapper script that warns against its use.

Thanks again!
Nicholas
