Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : siconos
   Version         : 4.3.0+dfsg-1
   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:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/siconos

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siconos/siconos_4.3.0+dfsg-1.dsc

Testing this package requires fclib 3.1.0+dfsg-1, which also needs
sponsorship.  It can be found here:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/fclib

and can get downloading with dget using:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/fclib/fclib_3.1.0+dfsg-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   * New upstream version. (Closes: #962219) (Closes: #961735)
   * Add dependencies libboost-timer-dev, libboost-chrono-dev.
   * Depend on openblas and lapacke instead of atlas.
   * Require fclib 3.1.0
   * Update location of install paths.
   * Enable WITH_GENERATION, now required for serialization.
   * Install new siconos_export_raw_data tool.
   * Fix cmake import targets to allow independent packages.
   * Update patches for new upstream version.
   * Add a flag for gfortran to avoid a regression in GCC-10.
     (Closes: #957794)
   * Remove unused build rule for swig3.0 symlink.
   * Remove non-existent files from debian/copyright.
   * Rewrite patch descriptions using gbp pq.
   * Fix a Python warning about using 'is' with a literal.

Regards,
