ssmtp up for grabs (was Re: 6th summary (was Re: [HEADSUP] ALL Maintainers, please reply.))

[Robert R. Schneck]

I was maintaining ssmtp, but would like someone else to take it over.
I haven't touched it for months, haven't been using Cygwin, haven't
been reading the Cygwin mailing lists.  I just happened to see
Corinna's headsup when I was guiltily searching for messages about it
I would have missed.

It is a very simple little tool for a very small job.  Maintaining it
could be almost no work at all.  It would probably be nice to sync up
with the upstream Debian package, and it would probably be nice to
make SSL support on by default, so that people who want it don't have
to recompile, but that's all I can even think of to do.

Best,
Robert

I thought I had made this clear.

Up for grabs.

It's about time that I replied...  I've been swamped with more responsibilities 
at work and haven't been able to maintain my packages.  They are all out of 
date.  One collection (c-client and uw-imap*) has a security issue that would 
be resolved by upgrading the package to the current released version.  The 
package also still needs to be re-built against the current openssl version.

All of my packages below should be considered "for grabs".  If anyone wants to 
take over any of them, the src packages should have all of the necessary 
scripts for re-creating packages.

thank you,

Yes. We can always re-instate it if people request it, as for xwinwm
too.

Would you think this is obsolete then?

I'd opt for obsoleting this package, too, then, ok?

These 4 were created by Harold Hunt and handed over to me.
I had to give up maintaining all X11 related packages and 
Alan Hourihane took over the xorg-x11-* packages. At least
the x-start-menu-icons and x-startup-scripts packages are
related to xorg-x11-* too and I'd be glad if Alan could
handle them too.

xwinwm is experimental and has not received and updates in
the last 18 months

the cygwin-x-doc package is out of sync with the doc on the
x.cygwin.com website and should be removed if no one wants to 
maintain them since the most recent documnetaion for cygwin/X 
is always available on the website too.

6th summary (was Re: [HEADSUP] ALL Maintainers, please reply.)

[Corinna Vinschen]

NOTE: This is one mail before the last on this matter.

To find also maintainers which are *accidentally* not subscribed to
cygwin-apps, I'm cross-posting to the cygwin mailing list.  Please send
your replies only to the cygwin-apps mailing list, which *all*
maintainers should be subscribed to anyway.

Below are the results as of today 2005-10-26.  It would be helpful if
all maintainers could scan this lists again, so that we're sure that
nothing has been left out accidentally and to clear up some questions.
Later changes due to dropping or switching maintainership should be
explicitely mentioned at one point, please.

Again, note that packages w/o maintainers on 2005-10-31 are up for grabs
and are removed from the distro if nobody volunteers to take over
maintainership.  Have a serious look especially into LIST 3 below, to
see if you'd like to maintain one of these orphaned packages.
