[Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "librcc":

 * Package name    : librcc
   Version         : 0.2.12-1
   Upstream Author : Suren A. Chilingaryan <csa@suren.me>
 * URL             : http://rusxmms.sourceforge.net/
 * License         : X11, ISC, public-domain, LGPL-2.1+
 * Vcs             : https://github.com/RusXMMS/librcc
   Section         : libs

The source builds the following binary packages:

  librcc0 - RusXMMS Charset Conversion library
  librcc-dev - RusXMMS Charset Conversion library (development files)
  librccgtk3-0 - RusXMMS Charset Conversion library (GTK3 interface)
  librcc-doc - RusXMMS Charset Conversion library (documentation)

As librccgtk3-0 and librcc-doc are new packages, please upload to the New queue.

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

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libr/librcc/librcc_0.2.12-1.dsc
