Bug#817961: RFS: awesfx/0.5.1e-1 [RC] [ITA]

[Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov <dbaryshkov@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the package "awesfx"

 * Package name    : awesfx
   Version         : 0.5.1e-1
   Upstream Author : Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
 * URL             : http://www.alsa-project.org/~tiwai/awedrv.html
 * License         : GPL-2+
   Section         : sound

It builds those binary packages:

    awesfx     - utility programs for AWE32/64 and Emu10k1 driver

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

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


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

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/awesfx/awesfx_0.5.1e-1.dsc

Right now package was removed from testing suite, because of RC bug #800262,
usage of deprecated debhelper compat level.

Current maintainer of awesfx (Ove Kaaven) asked to consider him MIA, so I'm adopting
the package.

Changes since the last upload:
  * New upstream release.
  * New maintainer.
  * Update to debhelper 9. Closes: #800262, #817311.
  * Update to standards version 3.9.6.
  * Use linux-any architecture. Closes: #745179.
  * Stop providing libawe.a, it seems nobody uses it. At least nobody
    complained about missing headers for this library.
  * Provide udev rules to automatically load sound fonts.
  * Suggest soundfont packages.
  * Enable hardening of built utilities.
  * Provide doc-base files.
  * List myself as an uploader.

-- 
With best wishes
Dmitry
