Hello people, This message concerns Python users, and in particular users of the python-orbit package.
The python-orbit package currently contains the PyOrbit module, that is a Python binding for ORBit, the CORBA ORB used e.g. by GNOME. PyORBit development seems to be somewhat dead. On the other hand, there is ORBit-Python, another module with the same goals. This one is more advanced, and is still actively developed upstream. I do have an interest in ORBit-Python (I am part of upstream and I use it for work). So, what I suggest is this: having successfully gone through the new maintainer process, I'd like to take over the package, and replace its contents (PyOrbit) by ORBit-Python. PyOrbit is version 0.0.2, ORBit-Python is 0.1.3 (+ CVS changes), so there should be no problem. Consequently, I'm looking for comments. Are there PyOrbit users out there? Are there any people depending on it being PyOrbit and not ORBit-Python? If noone raises their hand, I'll probably upload a new python-orbit package in a few days. Please answer on debian-python@lists.debian.org, as I think it's the appropriate list.
