Yes, you are quite active: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=108454&atid=650539 2 consecutive faulty releases... I see. That is a very bad upstream situation for such a long time. ... > Please have a look at popcon and realize that scim users still outnumber > ibus users 20 to 1 and that gap is actually widening, not closing. I think it is an Ubuntu effect. I have nothing more to say. > Scim upstream and my maintenance of the package are active, As I saw on the scim devel mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=scim-devel&max_rows=50 I got different picture for upstream. The statements of upstream himself indicated lack of developer manpower, skill etc. For example: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=scim-devel&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=201102 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=201105182125.36085.stroet43%40zonnet.nl&forum_name=scim-devel (2nd one is reply to me) This project looks to me in very passive state and in legacy support state. A situation with 2 faulty recesses without problems fixed quickly is a quite indicative one. Good for releasing for older release but I see no point continuing this for the next stable release. >　your calls for removal are absolutely premature and counterproductive. Premature for Ubuntu backport support ... maybe. But not for next Debian stable release. If you volunteer to be responsible, fine with me. I just do not wish to be responsible for a package in such state. I will orphan all scim related packages eventually. If you feel like, please hijack them while removing me anytime for those.
