Well, besides the slightly upgrade upstream version I was linking to
there seem to be no upstream upgrades any more. I can't say whether it
is "officially" orphaned in Debian but there were no uploads for the
last couple of years. I would only spent my time into upgrading the
package if there are people who confirm that it is useful. According
to the popcon stats at
http://blends.debian.org/gis/tasks/workstation#drawmap
there is some use even if the number is not amazing.
So are there any users of drawmap lurking on the list???
Kind regards
Andreas.
