Package: axel
Version: 2.4-1.1
Severity: normal
Since I saw axel on
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/speed-your-downloads-axel
I started using it and made a maintenance upload to experimental while
making existing patches mostly. No response from current maintainer(s).
So this is a practical orphaned software. (Currently db.debian.org is
down )
Before uploading another maintainance upload to unstable, I would like
to get 2 things confirmed within 2 weeks.
* Are you there maintaining debian package?
* Are you there maintaining alioth project which seems to be the
current upstream?
If no response, I will ask alioth admin to add me there and make project
status updated. README.Debian should describe this package situation.
(Probably in wheezy+1, if no one is interested, drop this from archive
if there is something much more popular than this with similar
functionality.)
I think if this is dead upstream, it should state so and recommend
alternative such as aria2 which seems to have active upstream.
For size, wget in busybox should be the smallest footprint.
Any thoughts?
