The debianisation attached to this request for sponsorship has been based on the Onboard package currently in the main yakkety repository. On my uptodate Ubuntu yakkety installation, the debianisation provided here successfully builds and the resulting packages seem to be running fine here.

Could you please review the package for inclusion into the main yakkety repository.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need further information:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+contactuser or simply be writing in this bug thread.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have a good day.

Francesco

Thanks, I'm sponsoring the update now, you should assign the bug against the ubuntu package next time though and not the upstream project, otherwise it not listed as needing sponsoring for ubuntu
