[pkg-lua-devel] Fwd: Bug#696899: RFS: premake4/4.3-1 [ITP] -- cross-platform build script generator

[Cameron Hart]

Hi,

I'm looking for a DD to sponsor my package premake4. I thought I'd try
pkg-lua-devel as premake4 uses Lua as it's configuration file format
and is primarily written in Lua.

Thanks,

Cameron

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "premake4"

* Package name    : premake4
  Version         : 4.3-1
  Upstream Author : Jason Perkins and individual contributors
* URL             : http://industriousone.com/premake
* License         : BSD
  Section         : devel

It builds those binary packages:

  premake4   - cross-platform build script generator

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

http://mentors.debian.net/package/premake4


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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/premake4/premake4_4.3-1.dsc

This is an update of the premake package
(http://packages.debian.org/sid/premake).
Originally I ITA'd the premake package, but after seeking advice from d-mentors
I've created a new package. The main reason being upstream have renamed
the executable as premake 4 is not backwards compatible with premake 3.
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/12/msg00282.html and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/12/msg00283.html for details.
This package would address some bugs logged against premake including #599774
and #630546.

Changes since the last upload:

* Initial release. (Closes: #696368)


Regards,
  Cameron Hart
