Re: RFS: avr-evtd (a heartbeat daemon for some embedded NASes)
Dear Mentors,
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. If more
information is needed, please let me know. The ITP bug is at
<http://bugs.debian.org/497882>.
I reproduce the long description here to ease the life of potential
sponsors:

avr_evtd is a simple and small user space interface to the Linkstation
AVR micro-controller. It doesn't have a lot of special features, but
it's main task is to provide 'keep-alive' messages to the Linkstation's
on-board AVR device.
.
This device controls/monitors the fan, various LEDs, timed power up and
two buttons. This daemon provides the necessary initialisation to the
device and also stimulates the LEDs depending on various fault
conditions. It also monitors a power button (located at the front) and
a reset button (located at the rear).

I am now upstream for the project and I have uploaded a new version of
the package to mentors.debian.net. Currently, the new package is at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/avr-evtd/avr-evtd_1.7.3-1.dsc
I have included all the patches in this new version (I kept the history,
so other people can see the changes that I've made).

As I am upstream for the package now, I have incorporated all the
patches and I am looking for a sponsor for this package.

This is already done.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
