Bug#679439: lightspeed
Hi Adrian,
Thanks again for your interest.
> do you need a sponsor for lightspeed?
Yes, I need a sponsor for this package, see my RFS (#679439).
I thought we already discussed it (I recall your email about package qpxtool).
Short story:
I prepared a number of QA uploads before Wheezy freeze, not all of them were
sponsored on time and now they have usertag "not-fit-for-wheezy". As you can
read at [1] it makes no sense to upload these packages into experimental, so
they are waiting until Wheezy is released. There are three package in this
suspended state: qpxtool [2], lightspeed [3], awffull [4].
It would be nice if you could upload these packages after Wheezy release.
Please write about your intention in related RFS bug reports in this case.

> I'm a physicist, so I'd be glad to sponsor this!
Cool, I am physicist too. =)
> PS: Why is the diff changing files outside the debian directory?
This should be a question for original maintainer of this package... =)
I do not remember exactly (it was in June), but I suppose that I made enough
changes in the package, and switching from format 1.0 to 3.0 (quilt) had
required too much time so I decided to postpone such changes for future updates.
Best regards,
Boris
