Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "sketch".
* Package name : sketch Version : 0.2.27-1 Upstream Author : Eugene K. Ressler, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler * License : GPL Section : graphics It builds these binary packages: sketch - Produce 3D line drawings from scene description language sketch-doc - Extra documentation for the sketch 3D line drawing system The package appears to be lintian clean, and builds for me in sid pbuilder. The upload would fix these bugs: 440914 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sketch - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sketch/sketch_0.2.27-1.dsc <HYPE> Sketch is under rapid development but it seems to be stable enough to useful. I have been looking for a few years for a way to produce precise 3D drawings for research talks; I think there must be a few people in the same boat. I don't think there is anything equivalent already in Debian; ray tracers are complete overkill and don't integrate nicely into LaTeX (and particularly into beamer/pdflatex). The upstream author seems responsive and excited about having his package in Debian; since I filed the ITP a few weeks ago he has gone through and added GPL headers to all the files. The package has good user documentation. There are about 10000 lines of C code with no dependencies other than libc. </HYPE> I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me, or had some comments to improve the packaging. This is my first sponsorship request, so be extra vigilant/kind :-). Kind regards David Bremner
