RFS: hiredis - Minimalistic C client library for Redis
Alessandro Ghedini
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "hiredis".
* Package name : hiredis
Version : 0.9.2-1
Upstream Author : Salvatore Sanfilippo <ant...@gmail.com>
* URL : https://github.com/antirez/hiredis
* License : BSD-3-Clause
Section : libs
It builds these binary packages:
libhiredis0-dev - Minimalistic C client library for Redis (development files)
libhiredis0 - Minimalistic C client library for Redis
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 612601 (ITP)
My motivation for maintaining this package is: There is no C library
for interacting with the Redis database in the Debian repository (only Perl,
PHP, Erlang and Python AFAIK). It is also the official C client library
for Redis (it is written by Redis' authors) and I think it is a good
candidate to enter the Debian repository.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis/hiredis_0.9.2-1.dsc
And on git.debian.org:
- URL: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/hiredis.git
- gbp-clone git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/hiredis.git
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Alessandro Ghedini

The package looks mostly fine, just one major problem: all files in adapter/ and
the example* and test.c files lack both copyright and license information.
Please persuade upstream to get this fixed.
Best regards,

Thanks for reviewing. I've uploaded to mentors.d.n a new version of the
package based on the new upstream release (0.10.0).
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis/hiredis_0.10.0-1.dsc
Some other "major" changes have been the bump to Standards-Verion 3.9.2,
the inclusion of the pkg-config file made by Andriy Senkovych, some patches
have been reworked (mainly to reflect upstream sources), and the rename of
the -dev package from libhiredis0-dev to libhiredis-dev.
Could you please review the new version as well?

I'm going to contact upstream as soon as possible. Thanks for the pointer.
What would be a viable solution? I mean, is a new upstream release needed,
or just a statement from the upstream author (e.g. on the project's
bugtracker, to which d/copyright will point) is enough? The second solution
does not exlude the first of course (the files will be fixed in a
subsequent release) but would permit the package to enter Debian without
waiting and to not block other packages that depend on this (e.g. webdis
which is an ITP).
Cheers

I've uploaded your package as-is. Yet it would be nice if upstream could, with a
future new upstream release, add all this information to the source files.

No problem.
Great, thank you very much. Regarding the missing copyright and license
issue, I have opened a ticket upstream, and, hopefully, it will get a fix
soon.
Thank you again
