Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hadith":
* Package name : hadith
Version : 0.1.0-1
Upstream contact : Masroor Ahmad <debian@masroor.de>
* URL : https://github.com/masroorahmd/fortune-hadith
* License : CC0-1.0, public-domain, GPL-3.0+
* Vcs : https://github.com/masroorahmd/fortune-hadith
Section : games
The source builds the following binary packages:
hadith - sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw), in the shape of fortune
fortunes-hadith - sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(saw) - data files for fortune
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/hadith/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hadith/hadith_0.1.0-1.dsc
Changes for the initial release:
hadith (0.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Initial release. (Closes: #1143254)
- "The Sayings of Muhammad" (Suhrawardy, 1905), 443 sayings, public
domain, parsed and proofread against the archive.org scan.
- Ships two cookie files: the modernised English as the default, and
the 1905 wording unaltered beside it.
- Split into hadith (the command) and fortunes-hadith (the data), as
bible-kjv splits from bible-kjv-text.
Since the reviewable part of a data package is its copyright file, the short
version of it:
* The text is "The Sayings of Muhammad", Abdullah al-Mamun al-Suhrawardy,
published 1905, author died 1935. Public domain in the United States
(published pre-1930) and in the EU and the UK (70 years p.m.a., elapsed
end of 2005).
* The source scan is of a later reprint. Only the 1905 sayings are taken
from it; the reprint's own preface and introduction are still in
copyright and are excluded by the parser.
* The modernisation of the Victorian English is my own work, dedicated to
the public domain under CC0-1.0. The 1905 wording ships unaltered beside
it, so the whole of the change is a diff.
* Packaging and tooling are GPL-3.0+.
debian/copyright accounts for every file, and DATA-LICENSE.md in the source
states the same per file in prose.
Two things that may look like defects and are deliberate, both commented
where they live:
* debian/control keeps Priority and Rules-Requires-Root although dpkg
1.22.13 defaults them. Current lintian reports them as redundant, but
only at pedantic level, while older lintian warns on their absence.
* The cookie files are not shipped ready-made; debian/rules builds them
from corpus/*.jsonl with a stdlib-only Python script, no network.
lintian --profile debian --pedantic reports no error and no warning, only
those two pedantic tags.
Prior art for the shape: display-dhammapada and bible-kjv are both in main
on a public-domain declaration for their text, and the split into a command
package plus a data package follows bible-kjv / bible-kjv-text.
Regards,
