Bug#884769: RFS: freetype/2.8.1-0.2 [NMU]
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am once again looking for a sponsor for an NMU of the package "freetype".
This version addresses concerns raised by Adam Borowski and Gianfranco Costamagna,
and removes the arch-dependent libdir output instead of freetype-config itself.
