Hey everyone,
I've finished packaging tsclient 0.56 and it's waiting for
someone to sponsor it at <http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~alau>. Free from
Lintian errors, but it seems to be incorrectly warning about my
debian-menu xpm as having too many colours even though I've followed
the menu instructions for running it through ImageMagick's
mogrify. Here are the relevant details:

24K tsclient_0.56-1.diff.gz
4.0K tsclient_0.56-1.dsc
4.0K tsclient_0.56-1_i386.changes
104K tsclient_0.56-1_i386.deb
256K tsclient_0.56.orig.tar.gz

Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libpanel-applet2-dev (>= 2.0),
pkg-config

Description: Windows Terminal Services (RDP) client for GNOME 2
tsclient is a GNOME 2 program for remotely accessing Microsoft
Windows NT Terminal Server and Windows 2000 Terminal Services as
implemented by the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Using the rdesktop
program as a backend, tsclient allows users to access and view their
desktops as stored on remote Windows NT/2000 servers.
.
Some of tsclient's features include:
* A GNOME panel applet to quickly launch saved RDP files
* Support for most of rdesktop-1.1.0's arguments
* Reading .rdp files in the MS Unicode format
* Writing .rdp files in ASCII (for compatibility with the MS
client)
* A "RDP picker" which lists .rdp files in ~/.tsclient/ and launches
rdesktop from the rdp file when selected
* VNC support as a client only (vncviewer)

Thanks in advanced,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau

Dear Rob,

I agree that we definitely need an official protocol/place for
filing Request for Sponsors (RFS) and to avoid unnecessary
cross-posting. I suggest that there also needs to be clear guidelines
as to what idle period would be long enough to warrant a repeat or
escalation of the RFS. Should urgent uploads also follow the exact
same procedure?
Do you think that the exposure and number of developers
subscribed to -mentors is sufficient enough to provide regular and
swift responses? Mentors is described [1] as "Helping newbie
developers" and some maintainers who have had their packages regularly
sponsored previously have never actually had a 'mentor' as such
assigned to them. Should there be another list for RFS similar in
nature to the WNPP list if you feel -devel should be avoided totally?

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

Yours sincerely,

as a side note, mihtjel and I have a mostly-working sponsorship
system, and now that I managed to recover the mailbot part of the
system I hope to have it up and running in a little while.
