#1011327 — Bug#961527: RFS: vnstat/2.6-2 -- console-based network traffic monitor

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : vnstat
   Version         : 2.6-2
   Upstream Author : Teemu Toivola <tst@iki.fi>
 * URL             : https://humdi.net/vnstat/
 * License         : GPL-2
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/vnstat
   Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

  vnstat - console-based network traffic monitor
  vnstati - image output support for vnStat

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

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vnstat/vnstat_2.6-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   [ Rob Savoury ]
   * d/control: update uploader (Rob Savoury) email address
 .
   [ Christian Göttsche ]
   * d/rules: enable lto/ipo
   * debian: use link instead of systemd alias for service vnstatd
   * d/rules: enable -Werror
   * debian: switch to debhelper compat level 13
   * d/patches: add patch removing compatibility setting ReadWritePaths
   * d/upstream/metadata: add field Bug-Database
   * d/patches: harden systemd service
   * d/patches: cherry-pick upstream commit to error early on
                unsupported architectures

Regards,
     Christian Göttsche

This will make the package likely to FTBFS whenever the default compiler is
upgraded, someone tries to build with clang, etc.  It's usually a bad idea
but somewhat manageable if you're looking carefully.  In Debian proper, that
is -- derivatives will be pretty unhappy.

... but you also have -Wextra which makes the above FTBFS guaranteed.

I'd say uploads with this combo belong in experimental -- a worthy
development check -- but not in in a suite that's going to be released (and
most derivatives have a different cadence than Debian).

I thought as upstream is quite wide checked [1], this might help to
detect possible
issue on uncommon architectures (as the build-warnings helper on PTS is
somewhat unreliable).

Uploaded a new version without enabling -Werror.
