Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Hi, mentors,
I have filled the RFS template below, but I have a few words beforehand.
1. I know we are under the freeze, so I was a bit wary to send the RFS
now. On the other hand, I didn't actually find anything saying that I
should wait for the freeze to lift, so I decided to send it. Correct me
if I am wrong, please.
2. I have worked with upstream to get my concerns fixed (as you may see
in the ITP thread at https://bugs.debian.org/929405). Upstream was
really helpful and responsive, so if other problems come up, I'm
confident that they can be solved upstream first.
3. This is the second package I make from scratch. The first was pragha.
Besides that, I maintain bash-completion, which I adopted about a year
ago. However, the email address in them (gabriel@inconstante.eti.br)
is a bit different from this one (and a lot of people have trouble
writing it down, so I'm unhappy with it)... Both addresses are listed
as uid in my gpg key, and I would like to use this new address from now
on (with plans to update the address in the other packages). If that
is a problem, I can switch back to the old one (I suppose it isn't,
because DMs should have a way to switch to @debian.org addresses once
they become DDs, but I digress).
4. This is a powerpc package, so you might need access to a powerpc
server in order to test it. If you haven't got one at home, :B, you
can get access to a VM at http://openpower.ic.unicamp.br/minicloud/
(that's what I used).
Now, the regular RFS stuff... :)
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "pveclib"

The freeze affects only packages that have a version in Buster. And even
for those, there's experimental that's always open.
Your package is NEW, thus it's perfectly fine to upload it at any time.

The email address doesn't matter, only the key used does. If you have key
DEADBEEF that's allowed to upload package chopped-cow, you may upload that
no matter what name is in the control file or changelog.
Heck, just seconds ago, the package got uploaded with:
Maintainer: Gabriel F. T. Gomes <gabriel@inconstante.net.br>
keyid: FD9CE2D8D7754B78AB279BBD2C3B436FEAC68101
and I'm pretty sure that key EAC68101 is not yours.
> 4. This is a powerpc package
ppc64el only, actually. The difference matters -- even if folks use that
name in casual talk, too many people and machines will assume that "powerpc"
means big-endian 32-bit ancient-ISA ancient-ABI.

It fails tests in qemu-user, works fine on Debian-provided porterbox.

All looks fine. I did not test the functionality (beyond the testsuite),
but packaging looks good.
Uploaded, thanks for your contribution!
Meow!
