Dear mentors, I am looking for a reviewer and sponsor for my package "daisy-player". * Package name : daisy-player Version : 5.3.1-1 Upstream Author : Jos Lemmens <jos@jlemmens.nl> * URL : http://web.inter.nl.net/users/lemmensj/ * License : GPL-2 Section : sound It builds these binary packages: daisy-player - player for DAISY Digital Talking Books daisy-player-dbg - daisy-player debugging symbols The package appears to be lintian clean (checked in sid chroot) except for the following pedantic ones: P: daisy-player source: source-contains-prebuilt-binary daisy-player P: daisy-player: no-upstream-changelog Upstream doesn't have a changelog (I will suggest it to him) and he likes to provide the binary for direct installation. The upload would fix this bug: 595292 My motivation for maintaining this package is that I got touched by a question from Dirk Schouten on the Dutch debian users e-mail list on how he should build a daisy player (player for audio books) for Linux as his eyesight was waning. Together with some more people on that list we figured out that most projects available seemed abandoned. But we found daisy-player, which is programmed by blind Jos Lemmens, and it actually works pretty well. Together with Jos and Dirk we improved the package to get it in shape for Debian, because there were some choices made which were not suitable for Debian at the beginning. I think we are finally there. I maintain the Debian packaging in the accessibility Team Git repro, but they seem busy as nobody responds to my requests for review (and finally upload). So I am asking here. Who is interested in reviewing my package? The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/daisy-player - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/daisy-player/daisy-player_5.3.1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards Paul Gevers
