Bug#474129: xtel: is this still useful?

2010-03-04 Thread Samuel Thibault
Hello,

Sandro Tosi, le Tue 05 Aug 2008 09:10:56 +0200, a écrit :
 I made the last QA upload, and I asked #debian-fr if it's still
 useful, and they replied yes.

And it is still true today. A friend of mine needs to access some
database that is only available as a minitel service.

 They also gave me an important information: on March 2009, France
 Telecom will shut down minitel,

Well, that hasn't happened.  And in some way that can not happen, since
nothing prevents somebody from running a minitel service for his own
purpose, so the package still makes sense.  I can take over package
maintenance if needed.

Samuel

The popcon data seems to suggest that yes, someone is using this (vote
= 5), but not many ;)

Gruesse,

Hi Ralf,

 I wonder whether xtel is still useful to anyone. It certainly used to
 be, some years ago, in the days before ADSL become available in France.
 At that time I used it myself, but I do not know anyone who is
 still using minitel.

I made the last QA upload, and I asked #debian-fr if it's still
useful, and they replied yes. They also gave me an important
information: on March 2009, France Telecom will shut down minitel,
hence at that day it might be removed, but currently we'd like to keep
it in Lenny.

Kindly,

Hi,

I wonder whether xtel is still useful to anyone. It certainly used to
be, some years ago, in the days before ADSL become available in France.
