Package: readaloud
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: normal
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "readaloud". Please note that I
am not currently a subscriber to the debian-mentors mailing list.
* Package name : readaloud
Version : 1.2.0-1
Upstream Author : Joseph Patterson <joseph@photosessionsltd.com>
* URL : http://readaloud.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL
Section : text
It builds these binary packages:
readaloud - Reading program for plain text books
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I first created it in 2004
and continue to like it.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/readaloud
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/readaloud/readaloud_1.1.0-2.deb
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
joseph patterson

>> * License : GPL
>Which: GPL-2, GPL-2+, GPL-3 ?
The license reference is clear as is. On any current system, /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL is a softlink to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3.
>> readaloud - Public Domain reading program for plain text books
>I think the license of the package should not be in the short description.
I agree that the adjectives "Public Domain" are non-essential and will
change the short description to "Reading program for plain text books".

>Then you are the upstream developer?
Yes, I am the upstream developer.
>links need fixing
See above fixed links
