Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tuxguitar":

 * Package name     : tuxguitar
   Version          : 2.1.1+dfsg1-1
   Upstream contact : Helmar Gerloni <info@tuxguitar.app>
 * URL              : https://www.tuxguitar.app
 * License          : GPL-2+, GPL-2.0-with-classpath-exception, LGPL-2.1+, NTP
 * Vcs              : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tuxguitar
   Section          : sound

The source builds the following binary packages:

  tuxguitar - Multitrack guitar tablature editor and player
  tuxguitar-alsa - tuxguitar plugin for sound playback using ALSA
  tuxguitar-fluidsynth - tuxguitar plugin for sound playback using fluidsynth
  tuxguitar-jack - tuxguitar plugin for sound playback using JACKD
  tuxguitar-synth-lv2 - tuxguitar LV2 audio plugin

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

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tuxguitar/tuxguitar_2.1.1+dfsg1-1.dsc

My package is also on Salsa

https://salsa.debian.org/helger/tuxguitar

and I opened a MR just in case it makes things easier for you:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tuxguitar/-/merge_requests/1
