Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libbncsutil":

  * Package name     : libbncsutil
    Version          : 1.4.5
    Upstream contact :https://github.com/BNETDocs/bncsutil/issues/new
  * URL              :https://github.com/BNETDocs/bncsutil
  * License          :LGPL-2.1+
  * Vcs              :https://github.com/BNETDocs/bncsutil.git
    Section          : libs
    ITP              : 1138065

The source builds the following binary packages:

   libbncsutil -Battle.net Chat Service Utility library
   libbncsutil-dev - development files


All the information and a clean MR for debian/latest branch at
https://salsa.debian.org/cen/libbncsutil/-/merge_requests/1

Note that 1.4.5 is a yet-unreleased tag, as upstream contributor
I plan to release it with any additional changes that come out of
the Debian review process.


Best Regards,

  Hi,

Here's a short , not-so-indepth review of your work. I didn't run the
package directly on my system yet.

Please note that I cannot sponsor your work as I'm a DM.

gbp.conf -- please enable pristine-tar and push the pristine-tar ball to
the repo using pristine-tar commit ../tarball.tar.gz . It makes things
easier for others to build your packages easily. Also please cleanup all
of the code comments.

salsa-ci.yml -- Is there a reason for disabling so many options in the
CI? If yes, please document it in README.Debian

watch -- This is an older watch standard, consider using Watch v5, check
this manpage:
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/devscripts/debian-watch.5.en.html

Remove the moreinfo tag once these issues are addressed. I'm sure there
will be more comments from your actual sponsor.

I have found a mentor so closing this bug. The issues from the review
by Aryan have also been fixed in the process, thank you!


Best regards
