Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : ming
   Version         : 1:0.4.5-1.1
   Upstream Author : Dave <ming@opaque.net>, Sandro Santilli <strk@keybit.net>
 * URL             : http://www.libming.org/
 * License         : mainly LGPL-2.1
   Section         : libs

It builds those binary packages:

 libming-dev - Library to generate SWF (Flash) Files (development files)
 libming-util - Library to generate SWF (Flash) Files - Utilities
 libming1   - Library to generate SWF (Flash) Files
 libswf-perl - Ming (SWF) module for Perl

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

or clone

Changes since the last upload:

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Fix FTBFS due to ungif linking (Closes: #733373).
  * Fix FTBFS on Hurd and against recent bison versions (Closes: #736162).
  * Strip non debian/ files.
  * Switch from superseded automake1.10 to automake.

ming has been removed from testing due to #733373.
Maintainer is unresponsive.

 Gabriele Giacone
