RFS: libconfig (requires transition)

[Jonathan McCrohan <jmccrohan@gmail.com>]

Dear mentors/release team,

I am looking for both a sponsor and a transition slot for my package "libconfig".
It is an updated version of an existing Debian package.

See discussion regarding libconfig here:

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/11/msg00406.html


 * Package name    : libconfig
   Version         : 1.4.8-1
   Upstream Author : Mark Lindner <mark.a.lindner@gmail.com>
 * URL             : http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/
 * License         : LGPL
   Section         : libs

It builds those binary packages:

libconfig++9 - parsing and manipulation of structured configuration files(C++ bi
 libconfig++9-dbg - debug symbols for libconfig++9
 libconfig++9-dev - parsing and manipulation of structured config files(C++ developme
 libconfig9 - parsing and manipulation of structured configuration files
 libconfig9-dbg - debug symbols for libconfig9
 libconfig9-dev - parsing and manipulation of structured config files(development)

An ABI compatibility report was kindly generated by Andrey Ponomarenko, and is available here:

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libc/libconfig/libconfig_1.4.8-1.dsc

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

Kind regards,
