Dear mentors,

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

 * Package name    : kcollectd
   Version         : 0.11.99.0-1
   Upstream Author : Antonio Russo (myself)
 * URL             : www.antonioerusso.com/projects/kcollectd
 * License         : GPLv3
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/extras/kcollectd.git
   Section         : utils

It builds these binary packages:

  kcollectd

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

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kcollectd/kcollectd_0.11.99.0-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release 0.11.99.0.
    - Includes --basedir CLI option to select directory containing RRDs.
  * Do not depend on collectd at build or runtime.
  * Bump debhelper-compat to 13 (no changes).


Most critically of the above is that it avoids a build dependency on collectd, which is
currently due to be autoremoved in 4 days.

Though this program may be most useful on a machine that has collectd installed,
it is still useful for viewing RRD files that are remote (via, say, sshfs).  This
is actually a recent, specific feature request [1].

Best,
Antonio Russo
