RFS: xinput-calibrator

[Tias <tias@ulyssis.org>]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "xinput-calibrator".

* Package name    : xinput-calibrator
  Version         : 0.7.0-1
  Upstream Author : Tias Guns <tias@ulyssis.org>
* URL             : 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator
* License         : MIT/X11
  Section         : x11

It builds these binary packages:
xinput-calibrator - A generic touchscreen calibration program for X.Org

 xinput_calibrator is a program for calibrating your touchscreen, when
 using the X Window System.
 It currently features:
  - a minimalist and intuitive GUI
  - automatic mis-click detection
  - works for any standard Xorg touchscreen driver (uses XInput)
  - can output the calibration in xorg.conf, FDI and udev format
  - can dynamically recalibrate the evdev driver
  - and more

The package appears to be lintian clean.


My motivation for maintaining this package is:
There currently is no workable touchscreen calibrator in debian, and I'm 
the lead developer of xinput_calibrator.


xinput_calibrator was created to fill the gap of touchscreen calibration 
software. Previously there were some calibrators for some specific 
drivers (e.g. evtouch), and they have been abandonned for years. (see 
http://tias.ulyssis.org/calibration/ for an overview).

xinput_calibrator is generic by using plain X11 libraries, and follows 
advances in the generic 'evdev' driver (e.g. dynamic recalibration).

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xinput-calibrator
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable 
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xinput-calibrator/xinput-calibrator_0.7.0-1.dsc
- ITP #592073

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

Kind regards
