Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the package "apt-fast". * Package name : apt-fast Version : 1.7.6-1 Upstream Authors: Matt Parnell, Dominique Lasserre * URL : https://github.com/ilikenwf/apt-fast.git * License : GPL-3+ Section : admin It builds a single binary package: apt-fast - shellscript wrapper for apt-get or aptitude To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/apt-fast Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/apt-fast/apt-fast_1.7.6-1.dsc The packaged apt-fast comes with debconf interface, meaning you can configure all those 7 configuration options on installation time (or just edit config file manually). This is done with Perl. Package doesn't depend on it explicitly because only builtins from essential perl-base are used. debconf dialogs are translated (fully) in 17 and (partially) in 19 languages. Translation is done on Launchpad: https://translations.launchpad.net/apt-fast Two manpages are provided (apt-fast itself (8) and config file (5)) (no translations). Bash and Zsh autocompletion is included. They are derived from distributed apt (apt-get) completions (bash: Ubuntu 10.04 to make it backwards compatible; zsh: current unstable). There is no upstream build system, so installation is simply c&p of relevant files (apt-fast itself has only ~320 lines of code). You'll find further information on Github homepage (see above) and Launchpad project: https://code.launchpad.net/apt-fast I would be glad if someone take a look at this package. :) Regards, Dominique Lasserre
