Dear mentors, I'm looking for a sponsor for my packages libtorrent-rasterbar and qBittorrent (which depends on the library). This is my second attempt, and I'm not the "first owner" of the ITP... unfortunately no one DD seems to be interested here. Having this library in Debian is really important because there are some other programs not yet packaged which depends on it (others than qBittorrent). This [1] is my old RFS, which contains info about the patch in the source package. Pages [2] and [3] are sf.net download statistics for upstream sources... I really think the number of interested Debian users might be even higher than these, because most people prefer to download pre-built deb packages (i.e. from qBittorrent web site). ==================== * Package name : libtorrent-rasterbar Version : 0.13-1 Upstream Author : Arvid Norberg <arvid@rasterbar.com> * URL : http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/index.html * License : BSD Section : libs It builds these binary packages: libtorrent-rasterbar-0.13 - efficient C++ bittorrent library libtorrent-rasterbar-0.13-dev - efficient C++ bittorrent library (development files) libtorrent-rasterbar-doc - efficient C++ bittorrent library (documentation) The upload would fix this bug: 402462 (RFP) Long description: Bittorrent library by Rasterbar Software (Arvid Norberg). libtorrent-rasterbar is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around. .
