Bug#836677: pysparse: still worth maintaining?
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.

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.

I have had a look at updating the package to the newest upstream release and fixing this FTBFS.
