Dear Mentors, I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. If more information is needed, please let me know. The ITP bug is at <http://bugs.debian.org/497882>.
I reproduce the long description here to ease the life of potential sponsors: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - avr_evtd is a simple and small user space interface to the Linkstation AVR micro-controller. It doesn't have a lot of special features, but it's main task is to provide 'keep-alive' messages to the Linkstation's on-board AVR device. . This device controls/monitors the fan, various LEDs, timed power up and two buttons. This daemon provides the necessary initialisation to the device and also stimulates the LEDs depending on various fault conditions. It also monitors a power button (located at the front) and a reset button (located at the rear). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/avr-evtd/avr-evtd_1.7.3-1.dsc On Sep 17 2008, Rogério Brito wrote: > On Sep 16 2008, Charles Plessy wrote: > > I had a look to your package.

Currently, the new package is at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/avr-evtd/avr-evtd_1.7.3-1.dsc I have included all the patches in this new version (I kept the history, so other people can see the changes that I've made). > > If you like the idea, then I suggest that once it is done you add > > the URL to the patch on SF.net in the header of the patch. > > Nice.
