[Debian-hebrew-package] pyfribidi debian package

[kobi zamir]

Hi,

This is a mail from Stefan Potyra about looking for pyfribidi package
sponsor for debian.
Since I'm not a debian developer and the maintenance will fall on you, I ask
you (Lior and Baruch) can we take sponsorship of this package for debian ?

I've just cleaned up Kobis package: It uses cdbs now, builds for multiple
python versions and I've added a python-distutils setup.py.

The (source)-package can be found at:
http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=942

Kobi: Maybe you would like to adopt these changes into your repository.
(Please skip the debian/changelog entry from me, at least the
distribution-field (dapper); eventually you may wish to (re)set the
maintainer-field to yourself).

Sergio: Would you like to maintain this package for debian? If not, I would
file an ITP (I haven't seen one for pyfribidi yet), but would still need a
sponsor for debian.

For ubuntu, I can take "maintainership" for the package, also we actually
don't have a specific maintainer for a package in ubuntu.

Cheers,
Stefan.
