Whatever. > If yes, I will orphan it. It is not going to be removed very soon, but > if nobody picks it up, it will be removed from Debian. Alternatively, you could advocate for the end of the email ban, and allow me to feel motivated to do this kind of maintenance again, even though i cannot upload. The punishment i suffer has lived past any kind of usefullness anyway, it has been years, and i think it is past time that you guys forgive the mistakes i made all that time ago. (But since this probably means realizing that it was not fully my fault and that others probably messed up as well, i doubt this will happen). Notice though, that as i am willing to do the maintainership, but not under the current situation where debian has officially said it doesn't want to have anything to do with me, if nobody picks the package up, i think you are all in violation of the social contract :) Sadly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
