Bug#823806: RFS: mongo-cxx-driver-legacy/1.1.1-1 -- MongoDB C++ Driver

[Giulio Paci <giuliopaci@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear all,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "mongo-cxx-driver-legacy"

 * Package name    : mongo-cxx-driver-legacy
   Version         : 1.1.1-1
   Upstream Author : MongoDB community <https://www.mongodb.org/community>
 * URL             : https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver
 * License         : Apache-2.0 and AGPL-3 and Zlib and Expat and BSD-3-clause and Loki-library and public-domain
   Section         : devel

It builds these binary packages:

    mongo-cxx-driver-legacy-dev - MongoDB C++ Driver (development)
    libmongoclient0 - MongoDB C++ Driver (runtime)


You can download the package with git using this command:

   git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/mongo-cxx-driver-legacy.git

More information about the software can be obtained from https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver/wiki/.

The software is very similar to libmongoc [1] (the only difference being the target language).

I wonder if it would be better to follow libmongoc naming and description, rather than current naming and description (that mimic upstream words).

A package review is very welcome.

Regards,
 Giulio
