Greetings [EMAIL PROTECTED], I just filed my ITA on the Debian astrolog package, which I've been working on for a month or so now -- I've updated the building, patched some code, fixed various bugs and policy violations, etc. I've also been in contact with the upstream author about clarifying the licensing. I hadn't filed a formal ITA yet until today, though. Nobody had touched the package in a log time, but I'm anticipating being ready to upload in the next couple of days, as soon as I finish writing the man page and hear back from the -legal folks.
Anyway, I just noticed that you sent a message to the O: bug yesterday saying: > ITA, i wans to adopt this package > thank you but you didn't actually _do_ the ITA by taking ownership and retitling. It's a rather bizarre coincidence that after all this time we both started working on it so close together! Have you done much work on this yet? I really don't want to get into a struggle over adoption of the package, but I've done rather a lot of work already and would like to continue, especially if I can get the package moved out of non-free (and I'm optimistic this can happen). -- Thanasis Kinias Doctoral Candidate, Department of History, and Instructor, Professional Enhancement Programs Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A. .
