RFS: scid (was scid2)
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.6.24-1.1
of my package "scid".
It builds these binary packages:
scid - chess database
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 465788, 487771
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid/scid_3.6.24-1.1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
W. van den akker

This packages was previosly uploaded as scid2. But after contacting the
upstream maintainer I decided to rename it to its original name scid.
These are the comments I got on the scid2 package. Which has all been fixed.

I have contacted the origin maintainer and we agreed I would do the
maintenance of this package.

I renamed the scid2 package to scid because its in fact a continuation
of the scid package.
I remove the scid2 package from the mentors site and replaced it with
scid.
