[...] I asked to remove aimage from the archive because it was not maintained anymore. At this time, I sent a mail to the upstream author and he replied me that he had no more time to work on it anymore. A few days later, he decided to fix aimage, probably because that I was not the only one ask for it. I now understand, thanks for sharing this. This new version fixes #618087, am I right? I think that aimage have a place in Debian because there is no other command line tool that does the job. I use it all the time at work because a lot of our machine does not have a graphical interface. I do agree it still has a place in Debian if it is used and usable. The popcon figures [0] aren't very high but I guess it is normal for such a specialized tool. The actual package seems to work, I used it two time yesterday without any problem. Great, still need to be tested after the changes I have made (I had to reapply the patch which had been applied on the files directly rather than via a quilt patch). I'll look at copyright informations. The changelog should also mention that the package is back to Debian. Once you have been able to check all this again, I will be happy to upload it.

Le lundi 10 oct. 2011 à 20:36:26 (+0200 CEST), Don Raikes a écrit : Just to add my 2 cents: the aimage package was replaced with guymage. However, as a blind computer forensics wannabe, I have tested guymage and it is totally inaccessible to a blind person while aimage being a command-line application is not inaccessible. That's a good point you might want to report upstream as well (I mean thank aimage developers and ask for a more accessible UI to guymager developers). I would push to have it maintained as an available package. In the mean time, I have checked and notices the 3.2.5 version of aimage was released on 17.11.2011 which shows the upstream development is still active. I think the package shouldn't have been removed from the archive at all. Still, the package needs to be more carefully checked to ensure everything is ok. It eg. misses copyright information for files under debian/. Christophe, what do you think? Cheers, Julien -- .''`.

Re: aimage
* Christophe Monniez d-fe...@swing.be [Thu Mar 25, 2010 at 12:04:11AM +0100]: I created a git repository for the new aimage package. It seems to build safely here. I wait for your remarks or improvements. The content of debian/changelog was missing and I did some minor typo/formating improvements. Please check out git tree and let me know whether that's fine for you and I'd upload it then.
