Bug#843684: RFS: hexer/1.0.3-1 -- new upstream version, refresh the packaging



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hexer":

 * Package name    : hexer
   Version         : 1.0.3-1
   Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>
 * URL             : https://devel.ringlet.net/editors/hexer/
 * License         : BSD-3-clause
   Section         : utils

It builds a single binary packages that has been tested with Lintian
and sbuild:

  hexer - interactive binary editor with a Vi-like interface

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

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hexer/hexer_1.0.3-1.dsc

...or from its new, full-source Git repository (not the same as the one
referred to by the hexer package in unstable, so debcheckout won't work):

 git clone https://gitlab.com/hexer/hexer.git
 cd hexer
 git checkout pristine-tar
 git checkout debian
 pristine-tar checkout ../hexer_1.0.3.orig.tar.xz

More information about hexer can be obtained from its website,
https://devel.ringlet.net/editors/hexer/

Changes since the last upload:

hexer (1.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Point the Vcs-* fields to my full-source GitLab repository.
  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.8 with no changes;
    the menu file remains, since hexer has no icon for a desktop file.
  * Use the HTTPS scheme for various upstream and Debian-related URLs.
  * Bump the year on my debian/* copyright notice.
  * Update the watch file a bit:
    - convert it to format version 4
    - switch back to pgpsigurlmangle; pgpmode=auto will silently fail
      on missing signature files, and pgpmode=next/previous is a bit
      too verbose
    - reflect the new layout of the upstream site
    - use the *.tar.xz upstream tarball
  * New upstream release:
    - config.h is autogenerated now, so no configure override
    - strerror(3) should be present on all Debian systems, so no -DBSD
    - update the upstream copyright years
  * Drop a duplicate -std=c99 from the C compiler flags.
  * Handle release candidate versions in the watch file.
  * Drop the handling of the non-standard "werror" build option from
    the rules file.
  * Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 10 and drop the --parallel
    option since it is the default now.

Thanks in advance for your time!

G'luck,
Peter
