-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi.
I'm looking for a sponsor for the following package. The addition of libchipcard to Debian would substantially increase the number of users benefitting from gnucash's hbci (home banking) extensions (cf. packages gnucash-hbci, libopenhbci, and bug number 174481), as many banks offering hbci appear to require usage of chipcards. To achieve this goal, libchipcard should be added to the official distribution, because the libopenhbci needs to be linked with libchipcard to support chipcards. * Package name : libchipcard Version : 0.7.3 Upstream Author : Martin Preuss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.libchipcard.de/ * License : GPL (probably LGPL, see below) Description : An API for smartcard readers This library provides an API for accessing smartcards. Examples are memory cards, as well as HBCI (home banking), German GeldKarte (electronic small change), and KVK (health insurance) cards. Additional Information: * Preliminary Packages can be found at <http://vman.de/chipcard/> or on the upstream download page. Upstream will probably release 0.7.4 this weekend, I'd like packages of this upcoming version to be included. * Present packages are do not display lintian errors, "only" warnings about link-to-undocumented-manpage. Man pages for all but one of those warnings have been submitted to upstream. * The COPYING file is the GPL while the source headers indicate LGPL licensing. I've notified upstream and he says that he will change the COPYING file to be LGPL and thus consistent. (There appears to have been a switch to LGPL at some point of time.) * I would possibly like to add packages for the kde tools once the KDE transition is complete. * I intend to apply for NM after getting my GPG key signed (hopefully soon), so you'd be relieved of sponsorship by 200x. Besides seeking a sponsor, I will gladly accept advice/criticism on my packaging. Thank you for reading this far.
