I don't remember; I think it's just that upstream added a manpage and I haven't removed the Debian-specific one yet. The reasons for that could be 1) I'm lazy; or 2) our manpage still contains more useful information than upstream's. I think (1) is more likely. > Second, have: > > bugfix-wait-for-child-eats-100%-cpu.diff > honor-destdir.diff > > been forwarded upstream? Probably not; IIRC I inherited those from the previous maintainer (Jorgen Schaefer, a.k.a. "forcer" on Freenode). AFAIK I haven't communicated with the s48 upstream maintainers at all. > Third, is debian-user-name.diff needed?

Right: most of my work is on Darcs at the moment (both as DM and with upstream). I'll probably also have to ITP a bunch of Haskell libs as Darcs starts to rely less on in-house hacks and more on external libraries... eek! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

retitle 515544 ITA: scheme48 -- A simple, modular, and lightweight Scheme implementation owner 515544 ! thanks Hi Trent, I am willing to adopt scheme48. I currently maintain ypsilon, an R6RS Scheme interpreter that is waiting in NEW. Ypsilon only supports amd64 and x86; I still use scheme48 on my powerpc and armel machines. I do have a couple of questions about the package: First, is there a reason why debian/scheme48.1 is shipped when doc/scheme48.man is present in the source? doc/scheme48.man is set up as a template that can be modified for each different binary. Second, have: bugfix-wait-for-child-eats-100%-cpu.diff honor-destdir.diff been forwarded upstream? Third, is debian-user-name.diff needed? If this patch is necessary, I plan to change it to give the hostname of the buildd used to build the package, which is how emacs does it. What would be the name presented if the patch wasn't applied? Fourth, I presume that pkg-scheme48 is a dead group? I would have no issue with starting a pkg-scheme group, or at least a way to coordinate scsh with scheme48. I do plan to implement versioned releases of scheme48 so it would be nice to have access to that group to edit policy.txt. Thanks for orphaning a package that is not a mess. Have fun with Haskell!
