As the listed maintainer, I'm happy to describe what this package is
used for.
Sorry for not asking you first. I am glad to hear that you are still
around :-)
It's basically a Scheme-programmable templating system for
generating text files. I used to use for website header and footer
generation and for maintaining multiple copies of dotfiles that
differed slightly across hosts on different unix variants.
At the time it was very useful, but since I rarely use the package
myself these days, I've let it languish and haven't tried to keep it
up to date.
Feel free to either remove it from recent (10.4) dists or to adjust
the poor header location in the build phase. Please choose whichever
option you feel most comfortable with.
If I hear any demand for this package, I'm happy to try to build and
submit a more recent version -- and I'll find a solution for the
problem discussed above.
I see now that I have it installed on one of my machines, too; I don't
remember why. Others have it installed, or the problem wouldn't have
come up. Is that enough motivation for upgrading the package?
