Bug#903270: RFS: sharness/1.0.0-1 [ITP] shell library for running tests
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "sharness"
Package name : sharness
Version : 1.0.0-1
Upstream Author : Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
URL : https://github.com/chriscool/sharness
License : GPL-2 or later
Section : devel
It builds those binary packages:
sharness - shell library for automated tests with TAP output
Sharness is used by a few Debian packages as part of their DEP8 tests
(via autopkgtest):
* gearmand
* git-reintegrate
* git-remote-bzr
* git-remote-hg
* hiera-eyaml
* jemalloc
* mod-gearman
* munin
* pass-otp
* puppet-lint
* puppet-module-puppetlabs-concat
* puppet-module-puppetlabs-ntp
* puppet-module-puppetlabs-stdlib
(the list was assembled via https://codesearch.debian.net)
Currently these packages embed a copy of the sharness.sh file below
debian/tests.
I will file bug reports against these packages (including patches) after
the sharness package is available, in order to help them getting rid of
their embedded code copies.
I am part of the munin packaging team, thus the munin package would
benefit immediately from this new package.
I plan to maintain the sharness package for the foreseeable future.
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/sharness
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sharness/sharness_1.0.0-1.dsc
Cheers,
Lars
