[Bug 2030675] Re: [BPO] plastimatch/1.9.4+dfsg.1-2 for jammy (22.04LTS)

[Thomas Ward]

As a backporter *and* a Developer, I have some major concerns about this
request.

(1) This has no developer backing.  One of the major things about a
Backport is it needs a developer or sponsor willing to push this
through.  I don't see any tied to this request.

(2) This request does **not** have any prepared packaging.  Part of the
requirements for backports is that packaging is prepared that *functions
as expected* for upload to the target release.  There isn't, which
should imply that the package works as is, however,

(3) The package requested fails to build from source and is NOT able to
be built on requested target OS.  There is no 'fixed' packaging or
debdiff available to 'fix' this problem here.

The Backports team is **NOT** responsible for making sure the packages
requested build properly on the target OS.  It is up to the requestor
and the developer/sponsor who is helping with this process to handle.

You note in your request that the package "would need modification".
Until a functional package diff is provided by either you or a
developer, this backport request does NOT meet the requirements for
backports.  The Backports team is not responsible for modifying the
package to function, that's a requirement for the requestor - refer to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Responsibilities_of_the_Backporter
for what responsibilities you have as the requestor of a backport.

I am marking this as "Incomplete" against Jammy until the requirements
are met so the request is suitable for the Backporters team to review.

** Changed in: plastimatch (Ubuntu Jammy)
       Status: New => Incomplete
