Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Hello mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for me to maintain the package fvwm: Package name: fvwm Version: 2.6.7 Upstream Author: fvwm-work...@fvwm.org URL: http://fvwm.org License: GPL-2 Section: x11 I am looking to update and maintain the latest release of fvwm in Debian. I have created a source package for review along with have had a short correspondence with the current maintainer, sharing my work with him. The current maintainer said he no longer uses fvwm and if I'm willing to take responsibility I am welcomed to. I have shared my work with the maintainer but besides that one short email, he has not gotten back to me. Once this bug is submitted, I will send the bug ID to the maintainer and ask for him to respond publicly for verification. This will be the first package I have maintained, yet I am an active member of the #debian irc community where I go by "somiaj". A copy of the source (and other files generated) can be found at: http://fvwmforums.org/fvwm-2.6.7/ My changelog to update the package to 2.6.7: fvwm (1:2.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low * Complies with Policy v3.9.8. * New upstream version.

(Closes: #831646) * Fixed conflicting array sizes of TabCom. (Closes: #801612) * Upstream no longer includes a debian/ directory, so Debian no longer has to repackage the upstream source without debian/. Removed .ds from version.
