Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: bl...@debian.org
Dear mentors (and hi Eduard Bloch), I am looking for a sponsor for the package "module-assistant" to get the needed patches for compatibility with >= 3.7 kernel into Debian. The package is marked by Eduard as LowNMU and the patches (by others) are in the BTS for a while now, so hopefully without stepping on anyone’s toes: Package name : module-assistant Version : 0.11.4+nmu1 Upstream Author : Eduard Bloch <bl...@debian.org> License : GPL-2+ Section : kernel It builds those binary packages: module-assistant - tool to make module package creation easier To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/module-assistant Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/module-assistant/module-assistant_0.11.4+nmu1.dsc I have a git repo based on the one on collab-maint temporary pushed to https://github.com/DonKult/module-assistant.git if you prefer that. (collab-maint misses at least the tag for 0.11.4 though) Changes since the last upload: module-assistant (0.11.4+nmu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * try to open new (Linux >= 3.7) location for version.h aswell as the old location(s), thanks to Evgeni Golov (Closes: #697269) * fix xgettext 'invalid variable interpolation at "$"' error in strings, thanks to Stefan Lippers-Hollmann (also in #697269) * add Portuguese translation by Américo Monteiro (Closes: #591421) * change from (implicit) source format v1 to v3 (native) * fix "useful"-typo in manpage (found by lintian) * bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 (no changes needed) * remove \w from the dpkg-deb matching regex as utf-8 characters like "»«" 'qualify' as such so that m-a isn't extracting the path correctly: The regex is now '[^./]' to eat everything as needed. I did slightly more than strictly needed ("shut-up lintian/dpkg changes") as I simply couldn't resists. I hope you don't mind, otherwise I am fine with whatever you want me to do instead. ;) Note: I have left the suite at UNRELEASED, intended is unstable of course, but I couldn't really find a consensus in this or the other direction here. Disclaimer (just in case): My perl knowledge is nearly non-existent, which in turn means that I am not able to help with maintaining m-a in the long-term.
