Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings".

 * Package name    : lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings
   Version         : 1.2.0-1
   Upstream Author : Andrew P. <pan.pav.7c5@gmail.com>
 * URL             : http://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings
 * License         : GPLv3
   Section         : utils

It builds those binary packages:

    lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings - Settings editor for LightDM Gtk+ Greeter

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

    http://mentors.debian.net/package/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings_1.2.0-1.dsc

More information about lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings can be obtained from http://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.

Changes since the last upload:

lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Initial Debian release, imported from Ubuntu. (Closes: #788614)
  * debian/ folder changes:
    - Add a watch file pointing to Launchpad.
    - Write a manpage (lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.1), dropping
      the binary-without-manpage lintian override
      for /usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.
    - Add a get-orig-source target for debian/rules.
    - Set myself as maintainer.
    - Set package source/format to 3.0 quilt.
    - debian/links: symlink the root NEWS file as an upstream changelog.
      This fixes the no-upstream-changelog Lintian pedantic warning.
    - debian/rules: override dh_auto_clean to remove
      po/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.pot, so that successive builds work.

Regards,
James Lu

Hi Patrick,

I'm not the developer of lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings; I'm just
interested in maintaining it in Debian. Mentors.debian.net is a place
where you can upload packages and find a sponsor to get them uploaded
into Debian, but so far there hasn't been anyone interested in doing so.
There's an open RFS (request for sponsorship) bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790104 (Cc'ing it here).

My PGP key is E71C0B9D (also attached).

Best,
James

d/control:
 - The frontend for git at anonscm.d.o has been changed from gitweb to
   git; please update Vcs-Browser URL accordingly
 - Developer's Reference §6.2.2 says that the synopsis is not a
   sentence, so you don't need to start it with a capital letter
 - synopsis / long description: GTK is spelled with all-caps, however
 - Depends seems to be missing Pango, going by PKG-INFO

d/copyright:
 - The license appears to be GPL-3, not GPL-3+ (at least in the handful
   of files I checked). This also requires correction of the free-
   standing license block (the last paragraph)
 - In the header, the field's name is "Source", not "Upstream-Source"
 - There's a formatting issue in the free-standing license text (line
   27 is not indented)

d/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.lintian-overrides:
 - Instead of adding lintian override for the missing man page of
   lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec, symlinking it to the
   manpage of lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, as some other packages do
   for -pkexec files (eg: src:mate-system-tools), would be more useful

d/rules:
 - You don't need a get-orig-source target for a mere uscan invocation.
   g-o-s is for cases in which downloading via uscan produces something
   that does _not_ match the orig tarball uploaded to the Debian
   archive: for example, when files have been removed from the original
   source (think: DFSG cleaning), or when you can only recreate the
   tarball by checking out from a repository

I'm happy to sponsor your package, but out of curiosity: have you tried
pinging the lightdm-gtk-greeter maintainers? They could be interested in
this package, and are probably in a much better position to assist you
with issues related to this program than I am.

Regards,
Christian

Done.

Assuming this means gir1.2-pango-1.0, added.

I see. Ubuntu's packaging wrote the license as GPL-3+ for both the
packaging and the source, but I guess the license of the individual
files must prevail here. Fixed.

Done.

I'm not sure what this means. Is it supposed to be indented to the width
of "X-Comment: "? That's what I did.

That's a better idea, done.

No, I'll do that now.

Hi everyone,

(Hoping this is the right list for this)

Recently I've been trying to get lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings into
Debian, since it's a nifty utility! Right now, my packaging work has an
RFS (request for sponsorship) bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790104. If there's
anyone interested in reviewing, the source is at mentors.d.n
<http://mentors.debian.net/package/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings> and Git
at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.git.

Best,
James

Hm, I just realized that I overlooked something here, namely the license
of the packaging that came from Ubuntu :-/

that makes things a bit more complicated, because:
* It is clear that upstream wanted GPL-3 for the upstream source
* It is clear that Ubuntu's packager wanted GPL-3+ for the
packaging, even if this motive was inspired by the erroneous
assumption of the GPL-3+ for the upstream source (asking the
packager directly might resolve that)

IOW, my initial advice was wrong. You need to keep GPL-3+ for the
packaging, and add GPL-3 for the upstream source.

Sorry about the mixup!

Oh, I see what you meant to do now -- it wasn't lacking indentation, it
was beginning a new field.

However, in that case, the field's name is just "Comment" [1], without
the "X-" prefix.

That's what I did here (forgot to mention it more clearly). The upstream
source (*) is set to GPL-3 and the Ubuntu packaging + my changes (the
debian/ folder) is GPL-3+.

Done. I'll fix the other email too.

(This was supposed to go to the maintainers for lightdm-gtk-greeter in
Debian, not the upstream list; sorry for the noise.)

Hi everyone,

Recently I've been trying to get lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings into
Debian, since it's a nifty utility! Right now, my packaging work has an
RFS (request for sponsorship) bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790104. If there's
anyone interested in reviewing, the source is at mentors.d.n
<http://mentors.debian.net/package/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings> and Git
at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.git.

Best,
James
