Dear mentors,

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

* Package name    : socketcan
  Version         : 0.0.1+svn1240-1
  Upstream Author :     Volkswagen Group Electronic Research
    Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com>
    Vladislav Gribov, IXXAT Automation GmbH, <gribov@ixxat.de>
    <socketcan-users@lists.berlios.de>
* URL             : <svn://svn.berlios.de/socketcan/trunk>
* License         : GPL-2
  Section         : net

It builds these binary packages:
socketcan-driver - Source for the socketcan kernel modules
socketcan-utils - Socket-CAN user space programs

The package appears to be lintian clean.

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
Get CAN automotive networking working in Debian out-of-the-box.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/socketcan
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/socketcan/socketcan_0.0.1+svn1240-1.dsc

The upload would fix this RFP bugs: #568303

Please CC me, as I am not subscribed to the list.

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

Kind regards
 Markus Becker
