Package: wsjt
Severity: wishlist

Debian has version 5.9.7.r383-1.3 of wsjt (released in 2007).  The
upstream devel page [1] has a tarball for version 7.03 r1090 [2].
Please package this new version.

LZ1BB's homepage [3] lists a HOWTO for installing version 7.x for
Ubuntu and Debian [4].  Also see message [5].

The upstream devel page lists berlios.de [6] as the SVN repository,
but that version is 5.9.7-r386 from July 20, 2007.

The upstream author stated that he is often asked for a .deb file of
his software, and would love to get patches for the debian control
directory [7] [8].
