Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for a QA upload of the 'smlnj' package. The Debian package has not been updated in four years except for minor maintenance work. I have now packaged the latest upstream version, 110.98.1, which, most notably, contains actual support for amd64: Until now, the smlnj package on amd64 shipped 32-bit binaries; see #796661. This is fixed now, but since upstream does not yet support the NLFFI component for amd64, I had to drop the two corresponding packages for amd64. They never should have been built on this architecture, anyway, though, because as I was saying, prior to the version I have now packaged, the amd64 packages contained 32-bit code. Apart from this, I performed some maintenance work, such as accounting for the fact that compat 11 changed the directory into which the -doc package installs most of its contents. I also added a simple autopkgtest to verify that the package is functional. The package is not Lintian-clean, but my changes did not cause any additional warnings that are not already present in the current version. I would also like to ask you to give me "Maintainer" access to the Salsa repository (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/smlnj) so that I can push my changes to it; currently, you can look at them in this fork and on Mentors: https://salsa.debian.org/wolff/smlnj https://mentors.debian.net/package/smlnj/ Thanks! Fabian
