Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "debdelta":
* Package name : debdelta
Version : 0.65+nmu1
* URL : http://debdelta.debian.net
* License : GPL-2, Apache-2.0
* Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/CalumMcConnell-guest/debdelta
Section : devel
It builds those binary packages:
debdelta-doc - diff and patch utilities which work with Debian packages
debdelta - diff and patch utilities which work with Debian packages
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/debdelta/
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debdelta/debdelta_0.65+nmu1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
debdelta (0.65+nmu1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Port to python3.9: Closes: #962203, #954420
* Attempt to build docs on debian infrastructure: fails in unstable, not testing
Additional notes:
With the python 3.9 transition, debdelta is completly unusable, until a bog-simple patch is applied.
While working on doing a rebuild for upload to mentors.debian.org, I realized that the package, as a whole, needs work in a lot of areas, especially its documentation. The docs weren't built as part of debian/rules, and while I can build them on my testing machine and within bullseye chroots, the pdf cannot be created in the sid chroot needed for upload to mentors. After many attempts at debugging, I decided to leave it (mostly) alone for now: I left the changes I made to get the build onto Debian infrastrucure, however, I executed the makefile locally, as the maintainer seems to have done.
I would be happy to take over maintenance of the package, however, it isn't officially abandoned yet.
Regards,
