Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name     : scandump
   Version          : 2.3.0-1
   Upstream contact : Adrian Granados <support@intuitibits.com>
 * URL              : https://github.com/intuitibits/scandump
 * License          : GPL-3
 * Vcs              : https://github.com/intuitibits/scandump
   Section          : net

The source builds the following binary packages:

  scandump - Wi-Fi scanner that writes scan results in PCAP format

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

https://mentors.debian.net/package/scandump/

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scandump/scandump_2.3.0-1.dsc

Changes for the initial release:

 scandump (2.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial release. (Closes: #1151563)

Notes for reviewers:

 * I am the upstream author. The Debian packaging lives in debian/ in the
   upstream repository and is excluded from release tarballs; the orig
   tarball is the GitHub tag archive fetched by uscan.
 * The package builds in a clean sid chroot with sbuild, and lintian
   (2.142.0, --pedantic) reports no errors or warnings, only info and
   pedantic tags.
 * The autopkgtests are marked superficial on purpose: scanning needs
   Wi-Fi hardware and CAP_NET_ADMIN, which test beds don't provide, so
   they check that the installed binary runs and rejects bad input.
   Real scans are tested upstream in CI against mac80211_hwsim radios.
 * The package grants no privileges (no setuid, file capabilities,
   sudoers rule or maintainer scripts); triggering a scan needs root or
   CAP_NET_ADMIN, as documented in the README and man page.

Regards,

Hi,

I have uploaded a new revision of scandump 2.3.0-1 to mentors. The only
change is the short description in debian/control, which now reads:

  Command-line utility that writes Wi-Fi scan results in PCAP format

The version stays at 2.3.0-1 since the package is not in the archive yet,
and the orig tarball is unchanged. The updated package is available at:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/scandump/
  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scandump/scandump_2.3.0-1.dsc

Regards,
Adrian Granados
