Bug#916905: RFS: Jerry (Chess GUI) /3.1-0 -- looking for sponsor
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "Jerry (Chess GUI)":
* Package name : jerry
Version : 3.1-0
Upstream Author : Dominik Klein / Dominik.Klein@outlook.com
* URL : https://github.com/asdfjkl/jerry
* License : GNU GPL 2+
Section : Games
It builds those binary packages:
Jerry - a chess program / GUI
Jerry is a chess program/graphical user interface. It caters mostly to
two use cases:
- a beginner just wanting to play a game against a computer with
adjustable strength
- a beginner/club player wanting to analyze/annotate a chess game
Jerry has a modern and simple user interface written in Qt/C++, and thus
integrates nicely into modern Linux desktops. It allow to import/export
chess games stored in PGN files, supports arbitrary UCI chess engines,
and supports fully automatic chess game analysis.
The availability of chess GUIs in Linux is rather limited. There are
powerful packages around, sometimes with more features than Jerry, but
their GUIs as well as their GUI frameworks are often somewhat dated, and
do not always meet the expectation of a modern GUI. Hence, I do think
this would add some benefit for debian users.
A source tarball, a source debian package, as well as a binary for amd64
are available from
https://github.com/asdfjkl/jerry/releases/tag/v31
More information about Jerry can also be obtained from

Or just drop me a mail.
kind regards
