Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "skycat"

* Package name    : skycat
  Version         : 3.1.2+starlink1~b-1
  Upstream Author : ESO - European Southern Observatory (but see below)
* URL             :
http://archive.eso.org/cms/tools-documentation/skycat.html
* License         : GPLv2+
  Section         : science

Binary package: skycat - Image visualization and access to catalogs and
data for astronomy

Further information about this package on mentors:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/skycat

dget download:

dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/skycat/skycat_3.1.2+starlink1~b-1.dsc

The development and maintenance of the package by ESO has been stopped
since a few years. However, a fork exists that is under maintenance by
Starlink <http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink>. This fork is used
for the package. Despite of its age, there is still some interest by
astronomers on this package.

Best regards,

Ole
