Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "siconos"

 * Package name    : siconos
   Version         : 4.2.0+git20181026.0ee5349+dfsg.2-3
   Upstream Author : siconos-team@lists.gforge.inria.fr
 * URL             :
https://nonsmooth.gricad-pages.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/siconos/index.html
 * License         : Apache-2.0
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/siconos
   Section         : science

It builds those binary packages:

  siconos - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical systems
(simulation runner tool)
  siconos-mechanics-tools - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (mechanics tools)
  libsiconos-numerics6 - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (numerics lib)
  libsiconos-numerics-dev - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (numerics dev)
  libsiconos-kernel6 - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical
systems (kernel lib)
  libsiconos-kernel-dev - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (kernel dev)
  libsiconos-control6 - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical
systems (control lib)
  libsiconos-control-dev - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (control dev)
  libsiconos-mechanics6 - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (mechanics lib)
  libsiconos-mechanics-dev - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth
dynamical systems (mechanics dev)
  libsiconos-io6 - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical
systems (io lib)
  libsiconos-io-dev - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical
systems (io dev)
  python3-siconos - modeling and simulation of nonsmooth dynamical
systems (python3)

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siconos/siconos_4.2.0+git20181026.0ee5349+dfsg.2-3.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   * Patch to remove bad cc options.
   * Patch to find python3.8 config.
   * Depend on swig instead of swig3.0.
   * Backport support for swig4.0. (Closes: #952601)
   * Removed a failing numerics test.
   * debian/rules: Remove use of ccache. (Closes: #945613 #954497)
   * Require Python 3.8.

Regards,
