Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "proj"

 Package name    : proj
 Version         : 4.9.0~rc2-1~exp1
 Upstream Author : Frank Warmerdam <warmerdam at pobox.com>
 URL             : http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/
 License         : MIT
 Section         : science

It builds those binary packages:

 proj-data    - Cartographic projection filter and library (datum package)
 libproj0     - Cartographic projection library
 libproj-dev  - Cartographic projection library (development files)
 proj-bin     - Cartographic projection library (tools)
 libproj-java - Cartographic projection library (JNI bindings)

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

http://mentors.debian.net/package/proj


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

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/proj/proj_4.9.0~rc2-1~exp1.dsc

More information about PROJ.4 can be obtained from http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/.

Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release.
  * Refresh patches.
  * Update copyright file.
  * Use minimal dh rules.
  * Update install files for Multi-Arch paths.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6, no changes.
  * Remove useless autogenerated doxygen files.
  * Update datumgrids.shar with proj-datumgrid-1.6RC1, it now includes
    "CTable2" format grid shift files that aren't system dependent,
    but requires PROJ 4.8.0 or newer.
  * Update datumgrids-ch.shar to also include the latest Swiss CHENyx06
    dataset, adding CHENYX06a.{asc,gsb} and chenyx06etrs.gsb.
  * Update nad2bin-data.patch to fix the build when the .lla files from
    proj-datumgrid-1.5 are not present, and install system independent
    files from proj-datumgrid-1.6 if they are present.
  * Add patch to use the higher precision towgs84 values as specified by
    Kadaster for EPSG 28991 & 28992.
