Bug#672290: RFS: uhub/0.4.0-1 (updated) -- High performance Advanced Direct Connect p2p hub

[Boris Pek]

Hi,

(Please Cc me in replies, I am not subscribed to the debian-s390 mailing list)

I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "uhub" [1]. Almost a month
passed without any reply.

This version of package should fix FTBFS on s390 and s390x. Which is now
important as I see in debian-devel-announce mailing list [2].

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Best regards,
Boris

I'm ok with sponsoring targetted fixes, but not new upstream versions. Please
ask on mentors or your former sponsor. (This looks like drive-by sponsoring
which makes me sad.)

Kind regards

Yes, two years passed since previous stable release of uHub.

Unfortunately my regular sponsor (Dmitry E. Oboukhov) currently is busy.
Package is waiting for upload since the beginning of April [1].
RFS for mentors was done in beginning of May: http://bugs.debian.org/672290
But there was no any reply to it.

In the middle of May I sent [2] request for help to check build on s390/s390x
because I have no possibility to check it myself. There was no any reply.

New stable release of uHub happened in the end of May. It is more stable and
should be compiled fine on all architectures supported in Debian. I believe
this new version of program should be in Wheeze, but the freeze will be soon...

Now I am waiting any interested person who could upload the package or just
test build on s390/s390x. If it still FTBFS on these architectures I can
prepare the patch (but for this new version of package, not for previous).

Best regards,
Boris
