this package was just removed ([0]) and one of the reasons was dead upstream. Has this changed? I don't think so, as the removed version equals what you stated in your ITP. Yes, the project has been taken over: https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x Benoît -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

For an adoption yes (as the package got removed, there's nothing you can adopt). However, you can try to reintroduce the package again. The old packages will stay available at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/snes9x/ and you can base your work upon them. Thanks for the link, it will really help. So, once I'm done updating the package I'll have to file an ITP and find a sponsor. Is there anything specific to reintroduced packages I should be aware of? (For instance, trying to ensure maximum compatibility with the previous package.) Note however, that according to the removal bug, there's no upstream development any more Fortunately, the project has been taken over and is actively maintained: http://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x Thanks for your answers.

Hi, I recently noticed this package was orphaned and planned to help. Being new to Debian packages and community, I preferred to familiarize with all of this first. This package has been removed today from sid, so I think it's time to get involved. Is it too late for an adoption?
