  Package: sponsorship-requests
  Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : blt
   Version         : 2.4z-6
   Upstream Author : George A. Howlett
 * URL             : http://blt.sourceforge.net
 * License         : GPL
   Section         : devel

  It builds those binary packages:

    blt   - the BLT extension library for Tcl/Tk - run-time package
 blt-demo   - the BLT extension library for Tcl/Tk - demos and examples
 blt-dev    - the BLT extension library for Tcl/Tk - development files

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

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


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

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/blt/blt_2.4z-6.dsc


  Changes since the last upload:

blt (2.4z-6) unstable; urgency=normal

  * Closes: #664092
  * Closes: #524149
  * Closes: #636629
  * Version 2.4z-6 introduces quilt-3.0 patches.
  * 02-debian-all.diff includes all of the changes that were applied
    to the source code by previous packager. Almost all of the changes
    are corrections in spelling in the blt documentation and examples.
  * Apply 3 changes based on revisions developed by the fedora linux team.
    + 03-fedora-patch-2.diff
    + 04-fedora-tk8.5.6.patch.diff
    + 05-tk8.5-zoomstack.diff
   * Those patches are required to solve segmentation faults that are observed
    when blt is used with tcltk 8.5. We have a substantial amount of
    experience using this patched version of blt in the Swarm
    Simulation System (www.swarm.org) and have observed no ill-effects.
