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

[Gianfranco Costamagna <costamagnagianfranco@yahoo.it>]

Hi, I uploaded the package on binnew queue.
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/libntl.git/commit/?id=abd150f5fd1b277b7f47fb27c9c958f49d06a7ba

I changed unstable to experimental, next time please don't forget that :)

(BTW please check reverse-depends for buildability, open bugs with possible patches, and ask for a transition slot
with a bug against release team)

"reverse-depends -b libntl-dev" might be handy
* eclib
* flint
* libzn-poly
* linbox
* singular


(I think I could have uploaded on experimental even with a changelog targeting unstable, but I prefer to do things clear)



cheers,

and thanks for your contribution to Debian!

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,
