Bug#885795: RFS: zapping/0.10~cvs6-12 [QA] [RC]

[Yavor Doganov <yavor@gnu.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor for the orphaned package "zapping".  I would
appreciate if someone with a TV card (potential sponsor or not) builds
the package and eventually confirms that I haven't introduced any
regressions.  It's obvious that it has some subtle bugs but I wouldn't
want this release to hit the archive if it introduces new ones,
regardless of their severity.  I feel very uneasy to work on something I
can't really test, especially when I'm not familiar at all with the code
and the APIs.  Thanks in advance.
