Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "folding".
* Package name : folding
Version : 5.04+3
Upstream Author : Vijay Pande
* URL : http://folding.stanford.edu/
* License : Folding@Home License
Section : contrib/science
It builds these binary packages:
folding - The Folding@Home distributed computing client
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/f/folding
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/f/folding/folding_5.04+3.dsc
It should be noted that this package does NOT contain the Folding@Home
binary. As the
license has a non-distribution clause, this package's installer
downloads the binary from
Stanford's website. As a result, I hope to have this package added to
non-free.
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
I am not DD, :)
