Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Hi mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package igb.


* Package name    : igb
  Version         : 5.3.3.2-1
  Upstream Author : Intel Corporation
* URL             : http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
* License         : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : dkms source for the igb network driver
  It builds this binary package: 

  igb-dkms   - dkms source for the igb network driver

The package is on m.d.n : http://mentors.debian.net/package/igb

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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/igb/igb_5.3.3.2-1.dsc

More information about igb can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ or 
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-82580-I350-and-I210-211-Based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-for-Linux-

You can also check the ITP: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804258


The package is needed because the in-tree driver doesn't have advanced features such as interrupt throttle,
multiqueue or Large Receive Offload.

As far as I can see, there is no firmware  blob loading that should prevent including it in main, but if 
I'm proven wrong I'd settle for a non-free upload.

Note that I already have a sponsor for my other packaging work (as a member of the perl pkg team), 
but this particular package obviously doesn't belong to this team, hence this RFS.

Also, I use git-buildpackage for the packaging work. For now, the Debian packaging is hosted on github 
(see Vcs-* URL in the package). I'd like to move it to anonvcs.debian.org, but I'd need my sponsor to create 
the repository in collab-maint. Even if you don't want to sponsor the package, I'd be glad if you could create
this repo.


Cheers,
