Bug#855439: RFS: cvm/0.97

[Dmitry Bogatov <KAction@gnu.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "cvm"

* Package name     : cvm
  Version          : 0.97
  Upstream Author  : Bruce Guenter <bruce@untroubled.org>
* Url              : http://untroubled.org/cvm/
* Licenses         : LGPL-2+,GPL-2+,LGPL-2.1+
  Programming Lang : C
  Section          : libs

 CVM is a framework for validating a set of credentials against a database
 using a filter program.  The modules act as a filter, taking a set of
 credentials as input and writing a set of facts as output if those
 credentials are valid.  Optional input is given to the module through
 environment variables.
 .
 Some of the ideas for CVM came from experience with PAM (pluggable
 authentication modules), the checkpassword interface used by qmail-pop3d,
 and the "authmod" interface used by Courier IMAP and POP3.  This framework
 places fewer restrictions on the invoking client than checkpassword does,
 and is much simpler to implement on both sides than PAM and the authmod
 framework.

Note, that this is not full-scale modernization of package. It is just a
NMU, required for libbg1 -> libbg2 transition. There is still a lot of
Lintian warnings, I know.

It builds those binary packages:

  * cvm
  * cvm-mysql
  * cvm-pgsql
  * libcvm1
  * libcvm1-dev

Please note, that package is maintained with dgit(1) tool using
dgit-maint-merge(7) workflow. In particular, it means that quilt patches
are squashed in source package and are not intended for review. For more
information about how to sponsor this package, see dgit-sponsorship(7).

  Git repository: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git
  Git branch: master
  Orig tar.gz: from tag upstream/0.97

With /bin/sh following commands should suffice:

  $ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/kaction-guest/bglibs.git bglibs
  $ cd bglibs
  $ git archive -o ../cvm_0.97.orig.tar.xz upstream/0.97
  $ dgit sbuild

Changes since last upload:

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release (compatible with bglibs >= 2.03)
  * Write watch file and verify GPG signature
  * Upgrade dependendency on bglibs (libbg1-dev -> libbg-dev >= 2.03)
  * Drop rpath related patch (fixed upstream)
  * Adjust debian/rules to changed upstream Makefile
  * Add ldconfig trigger

Regards,
  Dmitry Bogatov
