Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libgis". * Package name : libgis Version : 0.4.1-1 Upstream Author : Andy Spencer (myself) * URL : http://lug.rose-hulman.edu/code/projects/libgis/wiki * License : GPL-3+ Section : science It builds these binary packages: libgis - A Virtual Globe library libgis-bin - Example programs for libgis libgis-dev - Development files for libgis libgis-doc - HTML documentation for libgis The package appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining this package is: I am the primary developer (upstream) for this package and would like to make it easier to non-technical users to install and use. libgis is a "Virtual Globe" library which uses OpenGL to render an image of the earth using satellite and terrain data from publicly accessible servers. This is similar in concept to Google Earth and NASA World Wind, except implemented as a library. I am also working on a program called AWeather which I plan on packaging as well. The development of AWeather and libgis is closely tied and, as far as I know, aweather is currently the only program that uses libgis. Note: I am new to Debian and Debian packaging. This is my first attempt at putting a package together for libgis so it will probably need some work before it's all ready, especially since it's a library. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libgis - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libgis/libgis_0.4.1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone could review this package and provide advice on anything that needs to be improved, and eventually uploaded it for me as well. Kind regards Andy Spencer
