Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.6.24-1.1 of my package "scid".
It builds these binary packages: scid - chess database The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 465788, 487771 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid/scid_3.6.24-1.1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards W. van den akker -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This packages was previosly uploaded as scid2. But after contacting the upstream maintainer I decided to rename it to its original name scid. These are the comments I got on the scid2 package. Which has all been fixed.

Your upload does not fix the scid package. I renamed the scid2 package to scid because its in fact a continuation of the scid package. I remove the scid2 package from the mentors site and replaced it with scid. > > > This package has 2 warnings in it. > > - scid2 source: changelog-should-mention-nmu (I placed NMU in the > > changelog) > > Why did you do that?
