RFS: wmmixer (orphaned package)
Rodolfo kix Garcia
I am looking for a sponsor for the orphaned package wmmixer.
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload will fix the bug #490739
It updates the packaging to 3.9.1 standard and compatibility 7
The package can be found on http://www.kix.es/src/wmaker/wmmixer/
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Regards,
kix

You should retitle that bug to ITA:

Here is a review:
At this stage of the release cycle, the changes you have made should
be targeted at experimental instead of unstable.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg00000.html
You should document all the changes you've made in debian/changelog.
Your source package contains dpatch cruft, please remove it.
No need to add blank lines to debian/control
With dpkg-source v3 source packages you do not need to build-depend on
quilt or include quilt.make in debian/rules nor have patch/unpatch
targets in debian/rules.
The watch file that you added consists only of comments.
You need to adjust the package priority:
http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=unstable&package=wmmixer
The package fails to build on hurd-i386, looks like the configure
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=wmmixer
The website listed in debian/copyright is now a spam site, please
remove/fix that. The other upstream websites I can find make me think
this is abandoned upstream too. It would be great if you could find
out more, contact upstream and if they are no longer working on it,
take over development of it.

Ok, I moved it to experimental

Done

Done (I think)

I removed the last line (I spent many time with an error when I removed
the line in the middle of the file :-( )

Yes, I cannot find the actual repository. I will use kix.es (my host)
for this.

Moved to extra

Yes, the package failed in the previous compilation. I make a patch
including __GNU__ and __GNU_HURD__ to solve this problem, but I cannot
test if now is correct.

Changelog done. Moved now to kix.es. Yes, the application is a bit old,
I need to talk with more people interested in wmaker/docks to create a
new repo.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards.

Ahh, looks like you filed a new bug instead of retitling the existing
bug. Then Lucas merged the two bugs.

I think it is better to use a standard hosting system with bug
reporting, version control and other facilities. This way other people
are less likely to find the hosting to be a barrier to contribute.

Maybe the people on the WindowMaker mailinglist could help:
wmake...@lists.windowmaker.info
Best regards
