RFS: libtranslate



Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libtranslate".

* Package name    : libtranslate
  Version         : 0.99-1
  Upstream Author : Jean-Yves Lefort <jylefort@brutele.be>
* URL             : http://www.nongnu.org/libtranslate
* License         : BSD-3
  Section         : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libtranslate-bin - command line translator
libtranslate-dbg - library for translating text and web pages - debug symbols
libtranslate-dev - development files for libtranslate
libtranslate-doc - documentation for libtranslate
libtranslate0 - library for translating text and web pages

 libtranslate is a library for translating text and web pages
 between natural languages. Its modular infrastructure allows
 the implementation of new translation services separately
 from the core library.

The "modular infrastructure" of the long description refers to the fact that
libtranslate can be easily expanded: all the "translation services" are, in
fact, stored in a XML file. And the manpage clearly explains how to implement
new services! :)

The library supports two "modules": generic and talkfilters. The talkfilters
module is currently disabled, because of copyright issues with its contents
(please see #465086 for further info, it's my ITP for talkfilters). If the
issues are solved in future, the module will be enabled.

The original source code provides a /usr/bin/translate program, which
conflicted with translate's homonymous (please see #464034). Upstream and I
agreed to rename the binary to "ntranslate" [1]. I believe that the relative
package could also be called "ntranslate" instead of "libtranslate-bin"; please
tell me what you think about this.

The package is lintian (1.23.45) clean.

The upload would fix ITPs #292907 and #418329

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libtranslate/libtranslate_0.99-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Regards,
David
