Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : tfortune
   Version         : 1.0.0
   Upstream Author : Andre Noll <maan@tuebingen.mpg.de>
 * URL             : http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/tfortune/
 * License         : GPLv3
   Section         : games

It builds the following binary package:

tfortune - fortune cookies with tags

About: tfortune is a re-implementation of the venerable fortune
program with a couple of additional features for epigram selection
and management. It depends on the lopsub library which was recently
uploaded to unstable but has no other unusual requirements.

Quoting from the above web page:

        Like fortune(1), tfortune is a Unix command line utility which prints
        a random epigram. Epigrams are stored as plain text files, but they
        must be annotated with tags to make full use of the features which
        tfortune offers over other implementations.

        Tfortune has a built-in matching language for epigrams. User-supplied
        tag expressions define subsets of admissible epigrams. If a tag
        expression is given, epigrams are picked from the admissible subset
        only.

You can grab a copy by running

	git clone git://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/tfortune/

This will get you three branches: master, pu, and t/debian

The t/debian branch contains a two of commits on top of master which
add the debian/ directory with the usual files in it. The commands

        git checkout origin/t/debian
	git archive --prefix tfortune-1.0.0/ @ | xz > ../tfortune_1.0.0.orig.tar.xz
        dpkg-buildpackage

should work as expected. This has been tested on debian-9, debian-10
and debian-11.

Thanks
Andre

The RFS and ITP are unrelated.

Mmmkay... it's not especially user-friendly -- it doesn't say where to get
the datafiles from (most people won't bother to write their own).

It's more of an upstream issue, though.


But you see... Praveen cheats his sponsoring stats by doing a lot of
cookie-cutter packages, and making reviews too long would hinder me from
catching up.  So I just uploaded this to NEW, you can massage the package
later.


Meow!
