Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libcxx-serial":

 * Package name    : libcxx-serial
   Version         : 1.2.1-2
   Upstream Author : William Woodall wjwwood@gmail.com
 * URL             : https://github.com/wjwwood/serial
 * License         : Expat, BSD-3-clause
 * Vcs             : https://gitlab.com/leamas/cxx-serial
   Section         : libs

It builds two binary packages:

  libcxx-serial1 - Cross-platform, Serial Port library written in C++
(runtime)
  libcxx-serial-dev - Cross-platform, Serial Port library written in C++
(devel)

More info: https://mentors.debian.net/package/libcxx-serial/

Or, using dget:

  dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libc/libcxx-serial/libcxx-serial_1.2.1-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   * Fix lingering templates in d/watch.
   * New local patches:
      - Drop v8stdint.h header (above)
      - Make build verbose.
   * Cherry-picked upstream bugfix patches:
      - Fix SerialImpl constructor resource leak.
      - Handle 500kpbs serial ports.
