And I suggest once to remove it from tesing. Since I reported this 3 weeks ago, there is no progress and upstream seems to be dead, see http://twitux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/twitux/ So, I'll propose twitux package from testing once.

I agree with your assesment, please go ahead. Luke, I think you were interested in this package. If you have the time to take over its upstream let me know and we can work on updating it so it can go back into testing. Otherwise, I think we should actually go all the way and ask for it to be removed from the archive. -- Rodrigo Gallardo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I would like to see Twitux stay around, but given the number of issues it has, I would be for removing it from Squeeze before it releases, but keeping it in unstable. I don't have a ton of time at the moment, but my schedule will be opening up at which point I will be able to take care of it. So my vote is pull it out of squeeze given the large amount of needed changes, and see if we can get it back in by the next release. But I will look into the OAuth issue and see if I can't get something together that will keep Twitux in squeeze.

As far as I can tell, it can be upgraded to OAuth, and I could do it. But we are blocked by #581601 which is the library that is need for C OAuth unless I program the entire thing from scratch (Something I won't be doing, sorry ;) That ITP hasn't been acted on in over 3 months.. So we either wait or someone must hijack it? Either way, I highly doubt we can get a new package of this sorts in before squeeze goes stable AND make the necessary modifications to Twitux. So I think we should go ahead and have Twitux held from squeeze, but lets not go and remove it entirely.
