Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "softether-vpn":

 * Package name     : softether-vpn
   Version          : 5.2.5188+dfsg-1
   Upstream contact : Daiyuu Nobori <dnobori.gitcommit@coe.ad.jp>
 * URL              : https://www.softether.org/
 * License          : Apache-2.0
 * Vcs              : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/softether-vpn
   Section          : net

The source builds the following binary packages:

  softether-vpnserver - multiprotocol VPN program (server daemon)
  softether-vpnclient - multiprotocol VPN program (client)
  softether-vpncmd - multiprotocol VPN program (command-line tools)
  softether-vpnbridge - multiprotocol VPN program (bridge daemon)
  softether-common - multiprotocol VPN program (common files)

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/softether-vpn/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/softether-vpn/softether-vpn_5.2.5188+dfsg-1.dsc

Additional information:
The package builds successfully in clean chroot environments for both
Debian Trixie and Forky.
It is fully Lintian-clean, and compatibility levels have been bumped
to debhelper-compat (= 14) and Standards-Version to 4.7.4.

Note on versioning:
The upstream release version on GitHub is 5.2.5188, which is used for
this package.
However, upstream hardcodes "5.02.${BUILD_NUMBER}" inside
CMakeLists.txt for internal reasons.
This discrepancy is known upstream and does not affect the build or
functionality.

Changes since the last upload:

 softether-vpn (5.2.5188+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New maintainer (Closes: #1030780)
   * New upstream version builds fine with GCC 14; FTBFS no longer
     reproducible (Closes: #1075525).

Regards,
