Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "parlatype"

It builds those binary packages:

gir1.2-parlatype-1.0 - Library for Parlatype - gir bindings libparlatype-dev - Library for Parlatype - development version libparlatype-doc - Documentation files for the Parlatype library libparlatype1 - Library for Parlatype - runtime version parlatype - Minimal audio player for manual speech transcription parlatype-libreoffice-helpers - Set of macros for LibreOffice

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

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

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

dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/parlatype/parlatype_1.5.1-1.dsc

More information about parlatype can be obtained from http://gkarsay.github.io/parlatype/.

I am also the upstream author. The first public release was in January 2016, the program is in a good state, is already translated in a few languages and fills a gap for an easy to use transcription utility (manual transcription). I'm not aware of another program in Debian for GNOME, targeting transcriptions and also offering a waveform.

I was packaging it already for a time for Ubuntu. The package was built with pbuilder in a sid chroot. There is one lintian warning that I don't know what to do with: hardening-no-fortify-functions. I think the compiler flags are set right, but I don't know if I should override it.

There's also one thing unclear to me about the procedure: Is this sponsorship request enough or should I file a WNPP bug, too?

Thank you Gabor Karsay

Would you like to maintain this within the Debian Multimedia Team? If so: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/Join and then follow the stuff in the Develop Packaging link there (to create the git repository etc). We can always do this before the next upload if you prefer. Just let me know.

I'm not sure. I guess it would be better but at the moment I don't have much time to learn a new workflow. Besides I probably wouldn't do much work for other packages in the Multimedia Team. I'd prefer not to join at the moment if that is possible.

No problems, we can learn the new workflow next time. I would prefer the whole package was in git version control. It makes it easier for a sponsor to see what has changed in the packaging, and for other developers to help out as required.

Well - the teamwork goes both ways. There might be times you need advice from developers experienced in packaging multimedia type packages. And then maybe one day you see a way to help out with another package :-)

Anyway, there is always collab-maint to store the git repository instead, for packages that don't fit into a team: https://wiki.debian.org/CollaborativeMaintenance

Ross
