That's certainly not the case for upstream, where i recently had basically the ideal interaction: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635152 If you're saying the debian package has been abandoned, that's even more of a reason to file a debian bug -- i don't see any listed outstanding issues that might indicate abandonment on either the library package or its source: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=libgmime-2.4-2 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gmime2.4 Filing a bug would help to start documenting abandonment, if that is indeed the case. Once it's documented, we can try to do something about it. Regards, --dkg -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
