Bug#897046: RFS: link-grammar/5.4.4-1 [QA upload]



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a QA upload of the link-grammar
package.

My changes are summarized in the latest changelog entry:

  link-grammar (5.4.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * QA upload.
    * New upstream release.
    * Update symbols file.
    * Remove trailing whitespace from debian/changelog in order to
      silence the file-contains-trailing-whitespace Lintian tag.
    * Upgrade to debhelper compat version 11.
    * Remove the empty file debian/patches/series.
    * Use HTTPS URI in debian/watch.
    * Upgrade to Standards-Version 4.1.4 (no changes).
    * Add debian/python3-link-grammar.lintian-overrides to override the
      python-package-depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant
      Lintian tag.
    * Update Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields in debian/control.
    * Update Homepage field in debian/control and Source field in
      debian/copyright to use HTTPS.
    * Remove incorrect Multi-Arch fields in debian/control.

I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure about the Multi-Arch fields
that I removed. The link-grammar binary package installs an
architecture-dependent binary into /usr/bin, but it was marked
Multi-Arch: foreign, which looked suspect to me. Also, the
liblink-grammar-java package seems to have an incorrect Multi-Arch
field according to the Multiarch hinter:

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/link-grammar

Other than that, I made sure that the autopkgtests pass and that the
package is mostly Lintian-clean, save for several
package-has-unnecessary-activation-of-ldconfig-trigger warnings
(which, according to the Lintian tag documentation, might be due to a
debhelper bug) and an orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature warning
(which I would blame on git-buildpackage, see #872864).

The package is available on Mentors:

Thank you!

Best regards,
Fabian
