shunit2 Debian/Ubuntu packages out of date

[peternewman]

Maybe @mrud can fix it for us?

It looks like no-one told the Debian packaging system that it's moved to GitHub, so it's still trying to find releases on Google Code (see the first entry here):
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/shunit2

[williamdes]

Assigned to myself, I will update the packaging

[peternewman]

I somehow completely missed the fact there's an existing issue in the Debian tracker (well a few):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887842

[peternewman]

I emailed @mrud about taking over the package maintenance, let's see

I assume you managed to jump through their spam trap successfully?

Well maybe not, I will see if I can take over maintenance anyway
I will have to re read the Debian guidelines

Well maybe not

It looks like they just want emailing from their website https://dangel.im/ rather than their GitHub profile.

Any luck with this?

[williamdes]

Sent a mail to https://nm.debian.org/person/osamu/ about taking over the package. As soon as I get access to the repository I will start working on the packaging.

Any DD can set you up with write access ... but why me? Anyway, I invited you. (FYI: I don't maintain this package.) I now realize made the last git commit. (Maybe I didn't upload this due to release freeze etc.) Anyway, this package needs love. Please salvage this package ASAP. The last upload by maintainer was 10 years ago.

Thank you so much !
Can you please grant me DM access on this package too so I can upload new versions ?

[osamuaoki]

I don't know if I can do what you asked.

I can sponsor upload .this package once you made lintian clean package if I find time.

Please prompt me with direct mail.

Sure, this is https://salsa.debian.org/debian/shunit2/-/jobs/2774041#L1005 for issue #121 you commented on
I pushed a patch to apply cezanne@e736e3e but this did not work

[williamdes]

The test passes !
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/shunit2/-/pipelines/410390

I made lintian happy as much as possible
@osamuaoki would you mind sponsoring the upload ?

[osamuaoki]

Hi,

It seems like it is okay, a version was uploaded to Debian experimental already. Could you push the new changes I made to experimental or unstable since nobody did complain about the experimental version?

2.1.8-2: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/shunit2/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/changelog#L1

[williamdes]

Hi @osamuaoki
Did you have an occasion to send shunit2 from experimental into unstable ?

[osamuaoki]

Not yet (I recently moved and has been busy.)
Give me some time

[williamdes]

I think we can consider this issue as done: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1389384/accepted-shunit2-218-2-source-into-unstable/

Please test this shunit version as the next Debian version will be some time soon
