Bug#842376: RFS: batctl/2016.4-1~bpo8+1 [BPO]

[Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my backport of package "batctl" for
jessie-backports. It is required to support the new tables added
in recent Linux versions. It is also required to use the netlink
batadv commands which were introduced with Linux 4.9. I was asked
to do this backport by different Freifunk Communities.

I am the current maintainer of batctl in Debian.

 * Package name    : batctl
   Version         : 2016.4-1~bpo8+1
   Upstream Author : Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
 * URL             : https://www.open-mesh.org/
 * License         : GPL-2
   Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

  batctl     - B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced control and management tool
