Hi Anton,
Following up on your offer for sponsorship. I pushed debian/1.1.1-1 to
the packaging repository after checking the build runs successfully on
debomatic:
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/pysparse/1.1.1-1/buildlog
This release will also close the current RC affecting this package.

Hi Ghis,
thanks for working on the package! Even it is abandoned by
upstream, we have to support it in Debian, because it has
reverse-dependency.
Feel free to ping me, if one need the package sponsoring.
Best regards
Anton

I have had a look at updating the package to the newest upstream
release and fixing this FTBFS. However, I have got strong concerns as
to whether it is worth keeping this package maintained in the archive:
- The latest release on PyPI [1] is busted (missing files). The issue
was reported [2] but never addressed since.
- Latest activity on the upstream repository is from 2013. By now, I
expected upstream would have fixed the PyPI tarball, at least.
- No Python 3 support. A manual call to 2to3 on the Python sources
allows the build process to run, but fails at the compilation stage.
