Hello mentors, (David: after your blog post I decided to Cc ;-) ) I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.55+svn256-1 of the package 'syck', which is already in Debian. Robert Jordens <jordens@debian.org> is the registered maintainer and has given me permission to take the package, but has stopped respoding to my mail. The meta data: * Package name : syck Version : 0.55+svn256-1 Upstream Author : Why The Lucky Stiff <why@whytheluckystiff.net> * URL : http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck * License : BSD Section : devel Where to get the package: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/syck/syck_0.55+svn256-1.dsc Why you really want to sponsor this: YAML <http://yaml.org> is a great language, and syck is quite a good and especially fast parser for it (the package includes PHP5 (was PHP4!) bindings and the C lib). At the moment, syck is in a very lousy state in Debian - an antique (and thus less useful) version full of bugs. After this upload, the state of it would be much less lousy --- The fixed bugs can be used as a simple inaccurate statistical proof here: it fixes bugs 324316, 359245, 378440, 415217, 418308, 432416 This upload would also enable the upload of my package python-syck, which would fix a user request and another bunch of bugs. I hope this package not to be too much hassle; It's lintian and linda clean at any rate. I would like to add that the package has been finished for over a month. (I first requested sponsorship on this list in 26 Jun...) Thank you for reading this far, Looking forward to hearing from you Thomas Jollans
