Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package ocrmypdf.

OCRmyPDF generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF containing
only images.  It uses the Tesseract OCR engine and so supports the 39
languages that Tesseract does.

It is a convenient wrapper around Tesseract, unpaper, qpdf and other
tools for processing scans, obviating the need for a user to construct a
haphazard shell script connecting these tools together.  There are many
such scripts floating around online, but ocrmypdf is much more carefully
put together.

* Package name    : ocrmypdf
  Version         : 4.0.1-1
  Upstream Author : James R. Barlow <jim@purplerock.ca>
* URL             : https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF
* License         : MIT
  Section         : graphics

Download with dget:

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/ocrmypdf/ocrmypdf_4.0.1-1.dsc

Or build it with gbp:

    git clone https://git.spwhitton.name/ocrmypdf
    git checkout pristine-tar   # to create the branch locally, so gbp uses it
    git checkout debian/4.0.1-1
    git verify-tag debian/4.0.1-1 # if you have my key
    gbp buildpackage

Thanks.
