Pinging the Ubuntu Sponsors team.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

@Oliver Sauder,

Could you please attach a debdiff of 1.5.0 to update in yakkety, and then SRU to Xenial if the bug fixes are worth it?

Thanks a lot.

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

I am working on uploading 1.5.0 to the debian repository so it will be possible to import from debian into Ubuntu.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Even better. Thanks Oliver.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

There is no patch to sponsor here, so I'm going to unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors. Please re-subscribe them when this is ready to be synced from Debian (or a new-release patch is available).

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

I have uploaded a new package 1.5.0 to debian mentors https://mentors.debian.net/package/diodon

I have been looking for a sponsor but so far everyone seems to be really busy I have contacted...

So if anyone on this list knows a Debian Maintainer who could help out sponsor the package - that would be great.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Ping!

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

Unfortunately I couldn't find a sponsor in time and the package has already been automatically removed from Mentors. If someone else could pick this task up I would appreciate it - so I can focus more on other Bugs concerning Diodon.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Oliver, could you push it again into Debian for the hope that a sponsor accepts it?

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

I pushed the newest version 1.6.0 to Debian mentors again:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/diodon
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/diodon/diodon_1.6.0-1.dsc

Hope a sponsor can be found or preferably someone who could take over mainainership of the Debian package - that would be really great.

[Amr Ibrahim (amribrahim1987)]

Oliver, it shows here that diodon does not need a sponsor! In the column: Needs a sponsor? No
https://mentors.debian.net/packages/index

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

You haven't actually reached out to the Debian sponsors though.
Please read https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers in particular about how to find a sponsor. You are supposed to file a RFS bug, you haven't done that. Random people don't read package-specific bugs (that's a maintainer —you— job), TTBOMK what you did is uploading to mentors and writing to a bug of a package of yours that you are looking for a sponsor: you have no chance of it actually happening by doing that.
BTW, how did you find the first two sponsors?

[Oliver Sauder (sao)]

I usually contacted my previous sponsors directly as they already know the package. This didn't work this time though so I filed a RFS bug here <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=872645>

[Simon Quigley (tsimonq2)]

I am unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors as this should be handled in Debian.

Thanks!

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I did upload it in Debian and merged in Ubuntu.

Please let me know if I did anything wrong
