[Yavor Doganov <yavor@gnu.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Control: block -1 with 749452

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "gnustep-back".
It builds these binary packages:

gnustep-back-common - GNUstep GUI Backend - common files
gnustep-back-dbg - GNUstep GUI Backend - debugging symbols
gnustep-back0.24 - GNUstep GUI Backend
gnustep-back0.24-art - GNUstep GUI Backend (art)
gnustep-back0.24-cairo - GNUstep GUI Backend (cairo)

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

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/gnustep-back

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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-back/gnustep-back_0.24.0-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

The RC bug (#663388) is actually fixed, waiting for the GNUstep
transition to take effect.
