Bug#826030: RFS: ntl/9.9.0-1 -- EXPERIMENTAL!

[Julien Puydt <julien.puydt@laposte.net>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "ntl" :

 * Package name    : ntl
   Version         : 9.9.0-1
   Upstream Author : Victor Shoup
 * URL             : http://www.shoup.net/ntl/
 * License         : GPL-2+
   Section         : math

  It builds those binary packages:

    libntl-dev - Number Theory Library, development files
 libntl26   - Number Theory Library, shared library

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/ntl


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

    dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/ntl/ntl_9.9.0-1.dsc

  It is packaged within the debian-science team:

Vcs-Browser: 
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/libntl.git
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/libntl.git


  Changes since the last upload:
  * new upstream release
  * drop the MD5 patch (obsolete)
  * drop the sage callback patch (obsolete)
  * push standards-version up
  * rewrite Vcs-* fields (use https)
  * upstream's soname is now up to libntl26


Notice that I request an upload to experimental because there will be a 
transition. I already used my package to build the following source 
packages successfully : eclib, flint, linbox and singular. As those are 
as far as I know the only reverse-depends, things should go smoothly.

Once this package will have cleared new, I'll need sponsorship to upload 
the whole gang to unstable.

Thanks,
