I'm about to take an extended vacation from being a Debian developer, and will therefore have to orphan all my packages; list with descriptions below. I suspect that not very many people actually use these packages (if you do, now is a good time to speak up). Therefore, if I can't find new maintainers, I'll ask for their removal. The most popular package is probably sysadmin-guide, but I'm ambivalent whether it's a good idea to have it packaged anyway.
These packages have three open bugs, of which one is a wishlist bug: #92294: sysadmin-guide; Missing Build-Depends-Indep #99605: publib-dev: Missing symlinks for some man pages #67608: syslog-summary: please summarize "least message rpeated x times" and dont ignore it (These are all fairly old by now; my inability to get the time and energy to fix them is one of the reasons I want to have a vacation from Debian - all the energy I feel I can put into Debian is spent reading mailing lists.) I will happily continue to be the upstream of these packages (except sysadmin-guide, which really needs a new upstream as well). I will also help fix packaging related bugs, if necessary. If you wish to adopt one or more of these packages, please mail me within September. (Private mail would be preferred, no need to burden the list with a huge flood of ITAs.) After that, I'll ask for the removal of the remaining packages. Thanks. Package: liwc Description: Tools for manipulating C source code Includes programs for converting C++ comments to C comments, removing C comments, print out string literals, and converting characters to trigraphs and trigraphs to characters. Package: publib-dev Description: C function library Publib is a library of C functions for various purposes. It has been written so that it is easy to extend. It's build tools can easily be used for other libraries, but that isn't relevant for the Debian pre-packaged version. . The library contains functions for memory allocation, bit arrays, configuration files, comparing standard C types for qsort and bsearch, error messages, expression parsing and evaluation, filenames, hash tables, integer sets, log files, the Linux Software Map, NNTP, priority queues, normal queues, editor buffers, stacks, and strings. Package: sex Description: Simple editor for X The Simple editor for X (SeX) is a relatively small, simple, not too slow editor for X. It has no text mode user interface. It doesn't have very many features. The primary attraction is the mouse language, which is almost identical to xterm's, but clicking the middle mouse button inside a selection cuts it instead of pasting it. . SeX is still under development, and is known to be buggy. Package: sysadmin-guide Description: The Linux System Administrators' Guide The Linux System Administrators' Guide from the Linux Documentation Project. Aimed at novice system administrators. Package: syslog-summary Description: Summarize the contents of a syslog log file. This program summarizes the contents of a log file written by syslog, by displaying each unique (except for the time) line once, and also the number of times such a line occurs in the input. The lines are displayed in the order they occur in the input. -- Lars Wirzenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
