[php-maint] Looking for a sponsor for update of the YAML parser "syck" (including PHP5 bindings)

[Thomas Jollans]

Dear PHP maintainers,

For almost two weeks now, I have been looking for a sponsor for the new
version 0.55+svn256-1 of the C-based YAML parser "syck", which is
already in Debian. The previous maintainer Robert Jordens (who isn't
responding to my mail...) told me to just take it.

This source package builds two binary packages: libsyck0-dev and
php5-syck (it's lintian and linda clean...)

The upload would fix a number of bugs:
  Old NMU/NMU-fixed bugs: #324316 #359245 #378440
  PHP 4/5 transition (RC): #418308

The package previously built python bindings. I have created a
replacement package from different sources that fixes a large number of
other bugs.

The packages can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/syck
       http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-syck
- Source repository:
       deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
- dget'able dsc's:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/syck/syck_0.55+svn256-1.dsc
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-syck/python-syck_0.61.2-1.dsc

I am writing to this list since this package includes PHP bindings and
the upload as such is relevant in the php5 transition, which makes me
hope that someone here might be interested in it. I would be very
greatful if someone could upload this. (I don't expect anyone here to
bother about the python package of course)

Regards,
Thomas Jollans
