Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "xsnow":
* Package name : xsnow
Version : 1:3.9.4-1
Upstream contact : Willem Vermin <wvermin@gmail.com>
* URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/xsnow/
* License : MIT-open-group, LGPL-2.1+, GPL, FSFAP, MIT-CMU, FSFULLR, BSD-3-Clause, HPND-sell-variant-and/or-NTP~disclaimer, GPL-3+
* Vcs : [fill in URL of packaging vcs]
Section : games
The source builds the following binary packages:
xsnow - brings Christmas to your desktop
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/xsnow/
Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:
dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xsnow/xsnow_3.9.4-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
xsnow (1:3.9.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
* Closes: 1142859
* Changed tests/test2.sh again to accommodate slower systems
Regards,
Control: tags -1 moreinfo it seems the watch file was (erroneously?) reverted to v4 in 3.9.4-1, after getting updated to v5 in the previous upload (3.9.3-1). The d/changelog file also looks weird, with bits and pieces of the entries for 3.8.6-1 and 3.9.3-1 mixed up and revision 3.8.6-1 gone AWOL, despite having been uploaded to the archive. Please restore. The changelog for the current revision 3.9.4-1 only closes one of the two open bugs against the xsnow package. Isn't #1120037 (which seems to deal with the identical issue) also fixed by this update? If so, please close it in d/changelog as well and/or mark it as a duplicate on the bug tracker. And lastly, there's a warning about appstream, see https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/xsnow.html Please remove the moreinfo tag (and CC me) once you have an updated package ready. PS: please consider maintaining the package in a git repo on salsa.debian.org, which would allow yourself and sponsors to benefit from the Debian-focused CI there, which is very helpful for quality control and a significant time saver for sponsors too.
