Bug#736861: Subject: RFS: mathjax/2.2-1~bpo70+1

[Gary Preston <gary@mups.co.uk>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a backport of "mathjax" to Wheezy.

This package is a dependency for another backport (Calibre). I've had no
response from the original maintainer in the last 4 weeks so I'm 
proceeding with the backport.

 * Package name    : mathjax
   Version         : 2.2-1~bpo70+1
   Upstream Author : MathJax (http://www.mathjax.org/contact/)
 * URL             : http://www.mathjax.org/
 * License         : Apache 2.0/OFL-1.1
   Section         : web

It builds these binary packages:

  fonts-mathjax - JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and MathML (fonts)
  fonts-mathjax-extras - JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and MathML
                         (extra fonts)
  libjs-mathjax - JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and MathML

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

http://mentors.debian.net/package/mathjax

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

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mathjax/mathjax_2.2-1~bpo70+1.dsc

More information about mathjax can be obtained from http://www.mathjax.org/
