Bug#787578: RFS: soci/3.2.3-1 [ITP] -- C++ Database Access Library

[Bill Blough <devel@blough.us>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : soci
   Version         : 3.2.3-1
 * URL             : http://sourceforge.net/projects/soci/
 * License         : Boost 1.0
   Section         : libs

  It builds those binary packages:

 libsoci-core3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (core)
 libsoci-dbg - C++ Database Access Library (debug symbols)
 libsoci-dev - C++ Database Access Library (devel)
 libsoci-doc - C++ Database Access Library (development docs)
 libsoci-firebird3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (Firebird backend)
 libsoci-mysql3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (MySQL backend)
 libsoci-odbc3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (ODBC backend)
 libsoci-postgresql3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (PostgreSQL backend)
 libsoci-sqlite3-3.2 - C++ Database Access Library (SQLite3 backend)

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

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


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

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/soci/soci_3.2.3-1.dsc

  More information about soci can be obtained from
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/soci/

  Changes since the last upload:

  * Reintroduce package to archive (Closes: #752696)
  * New upstream release
  * Remove patches for issues fixed upstream
  * Update to debhelper v9 compatibility
  * Specify source format as 3.0 (quilt)
  * Update packaging to work with new (cmake-based) build scripts
  * Update to support multiarch
  * Update copyright to dep5 format
  * Add VCS fields in d/control
  * Rename packages to match SONAMEs
  * Update to standards version 3.9.6


 Note: This package previously existed in the archive, but was removed several
    years ago due to maintainer request and a mostly-dead upstream.  Upstream
    development has resumed, and my coworkers and I use this library often, 
    so I would like to reintroduce it to the archive and maintain it.

  Regards,
   Bill Blough
