[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Request for review & upload: nsf (ITP #766486)

[Stefan Sobernig]

Dear all,
dear Sergei,

I would appreciate if you could re-review the package and proceed by 
uploading it.

For the records, due to license-documentation issues, the initial upload 
was kicked off the upload queue.

These issues have been tackled. Unfortunately, Sergei has not responded 
to my request for re-upload since mid-Nov '14. I was not able to get 
hold of him on IRC either.

Cheers,
Stefan
