Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "emerillon".

* Package name    : emerillon
  Version         : 0.1.1-1
  Upstream Author : Novopia Solutions Inc.
* URL             : http://www.novopia.com/emerillon/
* License         : GPL
  Section         : utils

It builds these binary packages:
emerillon  - map viewer for the GNOME desktop

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 550912

My motivation for maintaining this package is: it is a package I use,
which interests me, and I believe I already have a good relationship
with the upstream maintainers.

Keeping in mind the (off-topic) discussion on bug 575384, the
rationale for having this retrieved from git is that it simplifies (at
least for me) maintaining and regularly building the package, if
nothing else because I am already using the same or very similar
recipes in other packages, including in helping maintaining
NetworkManager in Ubuntu.

I'm very interested to get more input on this. Thanks to Andreas
Henriksson for the advice already given, which I will clearly take
into account.

I've additionally CC'd the pkg-gnome team, since this is obviously a
very gnome-centric package :)

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/emerillon
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/e/emerillon/emerillon_0.1.1-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Mathieu Trudel
