Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Due to lack of time, I request an adopter for the sam2p package.

The package description is:
 sam2p is a command line utility that converts many raster
 (bitmap) image formats like GIF, JPG/JPEG, and PNG into
 PostScript or PDF files. PS or EPS files created by sam2p are
 usually not much larger than the source file.

The importance of sam2p has decreased a lot with the rise of
pdflatex. Still, it's a useful utility for creating efficient
EPS files.

Upstream has been mostly inactive for some time.

sam2p has a tendency to FTBFS with most major new gcc releases.
Therefore, the new maintainer should have some C++ knowledge
and the ability/willingness to dig into some hand-crafted build
system.
