Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wcslib-contrib"

* Package name    : wcslib-contrib
  Version         : 4.20-1
  Upstream Author : Mark Calabretta <mcalabre@atnf.csiro.au>
* URL             : http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/
* License         : LGPL-3
  Section         : contrib/science

It builds those binary packages:

 libpgsbox-dev - Header files and static library for libpgsbox
 libpgsbox4 - Draw and label curvilinear coordinate grids with pgplot
 wcslib-tools-wcsgrid - Command line tool utilizing libpgsbox

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

http://mentors.debian.net/package/wcslib-contrib

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

  dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/w/wcslib-contrib/wcslib-contrib_4.20-1.dsc

This package builds the parts of wcslib that need pgplot5 to compile
and therefore cannot be put into main: libpgsbox and the wcsgrid tool.

It is based on the same debianization.

Although there is version 4.21 available for wcslib, this package is
still created with version 4.20 since 4.21 does not pass all unit tests.
Upstream is working on this :-)

The package is put under debian-astro maintenance, and may be needed for
future packages (I already got one request).

Best regards

Ole
