Fwd: goocanvas-2.0 uploaded to mentors.debian.net

[Ross Gammon]

Hi Mentors,

I intend to adopt goocanvas, which has been orphaned and has had the
latest package sitting in experimental for quite a while.

At first I thought it would need a transition. But as suggested by
Alberto, I have renamed the source package (goocanvas-2.0) so that it
can be installed alongside the old goocanvas. This is what has already
been done in Ubuntu.

Before I request sponsorship, I would be grateful if someone could give
it a review.

At the moment it has collab-maint in the VCS fields, but I have not
pushed it there yet. I believe the most appropriate place to maintain
this package would be in the Debian Gnome Team alongside the other
applications hosted by Gnome. I have copied the Gnome Team in in case
they agree.

I have tested that it installs fine over the top of the version in
experimental (that is why I used a Debian -2 version), but I would like
another pair of eyes to check the Breaks/Replace for Ubuntu (they
unfortunately chose slightly different package names). In my Wily VM, an
install forces the removal of the libraries.

The links to the package on mentors can be found below.

Regards,

Ross
