Hi all! [ I am starting a new thread as a followup to https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2020/03/msg00003.html . CCing Shachar who replied to the thread and Axel/xtaran ( https://axel.beckert.ch/ ) who collaborated with me on updating wml's ( https://packages.debian.org/sid/wml ) package to latest upstream releases and who volunteered to try to sponsor and carry forward getting my FOSS packaged in time for Bullseye. ] My https://github.com/shlomif/rinutils/ C headers-only library is required by fortune-mod ( https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod ), some of the new releases of freecell-solver ( https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/freecell-solver-bin ), black-hole-solver ( https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/black-hole-solitaire-solver/ ) and possibly other projects of mine. I'm seeking someone to review, sponsor, and possibly package this draft Debian package I prepared: * https://salsa.debian.org/shlomif-guest/rinutils * A docker+git-based perl program that test builds the package in a pristine sid container can be found here: https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod/blob/master/scripts/debian-packaging/build-rinutils-debian-package--using-docker.pl There is a already a fedora package and rinutils uses a cmake-based procedure for installation: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rinutils . I wish to keep it as a separate package to comply with the debian and fedora policies and avoid duplicate code. So I'm seeking a debian developer to review, and sponsor it. Note that it is FOSS under the MITL. Note that I now applied the advice in Shachar's reply ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2020/03/msg00008.html ) and revised the description in the README (and the downstream @shlomif-guest draft package). Currently getting recent versions of my FOSS packaged into debian bullseye before the freezes is my highest priority due to the prevalence of Debian and its derivatives. Here is the plan/progress doc: https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-public-notes/blob/master/notes/updating-shlomif-foss-to-their-new-releases--in-debian-bullseye-before-the-freeze.asciidoc (short URL: https://is.gd/LIdqCv ). Thanks! Regards, Shlomi
