Bug#819188: RFS: icu4j/57.1-1

[殷啟聰 <seamlikok@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-java@lists.debian.org

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "icu4j"

* Package name    : icu4j
  Version         : 57.1-1
  Upstream Author : IBM
* URL             : http://www.icu-project.org
* License         : ICU
  Section         : java

It builds those binary packages:

* libicu4j-java - Library for Unicode support and internationalization
* libicu4j-java-doc - Library for Unicode support and
internationalization - Docs

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

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/icu4j

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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/icu4j/icu4j_57.1-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  [ tony mancill ]
  * Remove Niels Thykier from Uploaders. (Closes: #770576)

  [ Kai-Chung Yan ]
  * Moved the package to Git
  * New upstream release (Closes: #815137)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.7 (no changes)
  * Add myself to Uploaders
  * get-orig-source: Download released tarballs instead of checking out SVN
  * Update d/copyright to the standardized format
  * Refresh patches
  * Switch from CDBS to DH sequences
  * Drop 01-java8-compatibility.patch
  * New package: libicu4j-java-doc providing Javadoc
  * New javadoc_local_link.diff: Patch javadoc to link against default-jdk-doc

All reverse build-dependencies have been checked, only src:lucene2 failed to
build. However I have prepared a cloned package of the current version of icu4j,
icu4j-4.2 <https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/icu4j-4.2.git>, which is
being reviewed.

Regards,
Kai-Chung Yan
