Bug#856981: RFS: libsigrok/0.4.0-1 [ ITA]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal


Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libsigrok"

* Package name    : libsigrok
   Version         : 0.4.0-1
   Upstream Author : http://sigrok.org/
* URL             : http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libsigrok
* License         : GPL
   Section         : libs


It builds those binary packages:

 libsigrok-dev - sigrok hardware driver library - development files
 libsigrok2 - sigrok hardware driver library (transitional dummy package)
 libsigrok3 - sigrok hardware driver library - shared library
 libsigrokcxx3 - sigrok hardware driver library - shared library
 libsigrokcxx3-dev - sigrok C++ bindings - development files
 python-libsigrok3 - Python bindings for the libsigrok library

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/libsigrok


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

    dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libs/libsigrok/libsigrok_0.4.0-1.dsc

  More information about the sigrok can be obtained from http://sigrok.org/.

  Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release 0.4.0
  * New maintainer (Closes: #852830)
  * Increase package name suffix as soname changed, add correspondig dummy
    package
  * Remove obsolote transitional dummy package libsigrok0-dev
  * Add binary and dev packages for C++ bindings
  * Add binary package for Python bindings
  * Patch Makefile.am to avoid build quiteness and install Python
    module under dist-packages
  * Add build-deps needed for C++/Python bindings

The package was recently RFA'd by the current maintainer Uwe, see #852830,
and i would like to take over the maintenance of this package and the
related packages in the sigrok suite (see at
http://sigrok.org/wiki/Downloads).
RFSs for the other packagescoming soon.
 Unfortunately Uwe doesn't have time for sponsoring the package, so i
would like to ask the community to guide me with the first steps.
To ease this i uploaded my version to
mentors.debian.net, see above.

The packaging work is version controlled here:

https://git.zgyarmati.de/debian-packaging/libsigrok-debian

which repository i plan to migrate to collab-maint eventually once i'm
more set in the Debian infrastructure.

Please feel free to contact with any comments or questions, best regards
