Hi mentors, Recently I have invested quite some time to prepare a debdif for lesstif2 [0] to help the maintainer. Lesstif, which had low threshold NMU preference set, did not have a regular update in 1.5 years and definitely could use some attention. In my debdif I solved the following debian bugs: 396199, 479779, 503361, 314440, 43640, 87745, 356017, 496081 and 330057 by patching the code with patches available from upstream, Fedora and the BTS. I included the debdif in bug #522157 [1] on the April 1. I tried already before that date to contact the current maintainer, but apart from a short conversation on IRC I he doesn't respond (although he seems present on IRC). In that conversation he was interested in the debdif.
I also intend to work with upstream (nearly dead by the looks of it, but I got commit rights) to improve the source code and eventually a new point release. Unfortunately that will be somewhat slow because I am unfamiliar with the code. What are your ideas of how to proceed? Is somebody willing to check the debdif? Maybe prefer a proper .dsc? Or of course just waiting for the current maintainer? I would appreciate some visions. With kind regards, Paul [0] OSF/Motif 2.1 implementation released under LGPL [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522157
