Hi Bdale,

Since I'm the one maintaining the SourceForge version, maybe you and I
should talk. :-)

 Any takers?  



RFP: bidwatcher

2000-03-26 Thread Bdale Garbee
I've built a package of bidwatcher, which is a tool for users of eBay, that
assists in placing and monitoring bids.  I don't really want to maintain the
package, though, so I'm calling for a volunteer to package this for real and
upload it.  I'm happy to provide what I've done so far, but it's just a
dh_make in the root of the package source tree, and a few trivial edits to
the debian/* files.

The original author has abdicated, and a fork has occurred.  I'm currently
