Hi Adam,

Thanks for reviewing my draft source package.

Taking your advice into consideration, I changed the name for the binary package, which is now called libfast-float-dev.
The README file says fast-float itself is a "library", so it would be better to treat it as such.

Here is the latest draft (see Upload #2):
https://mentors.debian.net/package/fast-float/

If you don't mind, can you sponsor this package and help me upload it to the archive?

Best regards,
Fukui
