In an effort to see how many times I can reply to myself in this thread, I wanted to ping the list about this RFS. Is anyone beside Martin interested in sponsoring Misterhouse? If not, I will not bug this list about it again.
I have released a 3rd revision of the package that hopefully addresses the worst of the FHS compliance issues. There are still some small lintian warnings, but the changes needed to fix them are intrusive and I'd rather do it via upstream. MH is a bit of a mess in this regard. The latest packages are avilable here: http://www.knizefamily.net/russ/software/misterhouse.html or via: deb http://www.knizefamily.net/russ/software/debian/ ./ deb-src http://www.knizefamily.net/russ/software/debian/ ./ Thanks, Russ Russ W.
