Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors,
I am looking for review and a sponsor for my package "src:muse-el". I've CC'd Sean Whitton who is willing to help me with elpa, LISP, and any emacs-on-Debian integration issues. Here are a few things I'm wondering about: Are the generated packages in the correct sections for an elpafied package? Is removing hrefs to favicon.ico (Bug: #775885) sufficient? Distributing a favicon.ico seems unnecessary and honestly, I'm against it. In Canada, because the author retains all distribution rights in the absence of a license or declared copyright, even something as trivial as a favicon.ico can be unredistributable. I couldn't find the license on Michael Olson's website <mwolson.org>, so I decided it was best not to copy it. Do my patches look ok? Should elpafied packages continue to be arch-independent? Is debian/changelog too verbose and could it be condensed? Package name : muse-el Version : 3.20+dfsg-1 Section : editors It builds those binary packages: elpa-muse - Author and publish projects using Wiki-like markup muse-el - transitional dummy package for elpa-muse.
