Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for an update of the aiksaurus package.

The aiksaurus package currently has one RC bug because its
debian/rules file is still using dh_desktop, which has been obsolete
since 2009. I rewrote the rules file so that it now uses a more modern
"dh" style.

I also updated debian/copyright to follow the machine-readable format
and applied a variety of other changes to fix all 4 errors and 70
warnings that Lintian reported.

Here is the build log for amd64:

  https://bitbucket.org/snippets/f-w/eKxrB

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/aiksaurus

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/aiksaurus/aiksaurus_1.2.1+dev-0.12-6.3.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  * Rewrite and clean up debian/rules (Closes: #817290 #821961).
  * Fix all Lintian warnings and errors.
  * Install libAiksaurus[GTK]-1.2.so instead of libAiksaurus[GTK].so.
  * Upgrade to source format 3.0 (quilt) and Standards version 3.9.8.

The change listed as the third bullet point was necessary to fix a
certain Lintian warning. This did indeed change the soname, but since
aiksaurus currently has no reverse dependencies, I do not think that
this is a problem.

Regards,
Fabian Wolff

Hi,
just WOW.

changes were HUGE, but needed.

Unfortunately I had to do some additional work on top of your changes

e.g. you changed the orig tarball, this isn't possible unless you rename it.
so I extracted the current "patch" inside the tarball, into an additional patch, and
rebased your work on top of that (one patch refreshed, one deleted).

I deleted from the current patch the config.* changes, useless with autoreconf


I also tweaked the changelog to be a little bit more verbose, and probably something more
I put this on deferred/15, and I'm attaching it to this email or you can dget from there
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/debomatic/unstable/pool/aiksaurus_1.2.1+dev-0.12-6.3/aiksaurus_1.2.1+dev-0.12-6.3_amd64.changes
please let me know if it sounds good for you!

also, your line closing bugs was missing a semicolon, vim wasn't highlighting the second bug
(I'm not sure if the bug would have been closed correctly or not)

thanks for your contribution to Debian!

Gianfranco
