That said, of course the other reasons are valid. -- A true pessimist won't be discouraged by a little success. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#288379: O: vcg -- A Visualization Tool for compiler graphs
Malcolm Everyone who wants a tool like vcg uses the non-free graphviz Malcolm package instead. Not true; I do, and some software does, for instance, http://atseidl2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~berlea/Fxp/ Malcolm The GUI needs to be rewritten in GTK. True, but not a reason to let it die, IMO. I'll put in on my list of projects to explore. Malcolm I'm happy for someone more interested in this tool to adopt it. Would you consider sponsoring me? I'll be stuck in the NM queue for some weeks (months?) to come. -- I wonder which is the best virus for unix and if I can write a better one in Microsoft BASIC ?

Bug#182820: ITP: makepp -- yet another make replacement
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-02-27 Severity: wishlist * Package name: makepp Version : 1.18 Upstream Author : Gary Holt [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://makepp.sourceforge.net/ * License : Dual GPL/Artistic Description : yet another make replacement makepp is the rare case where a compromise worked well. Namely, a compromise between the power of cons (already in Debian) and the need to keep close to traditional makefile syntax. makepp has most of cons' power while it is so compatible with existing makefiles that it can use many of them without modification, perhaps in degraded mode. Like cons, makepp is written in Perl and depends on it. -- System Information Debian Release: woody Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux kronstadt 2.4.20 #1 Sun Jan 26 18:40:12 PST 2003 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
Bug#169557: RFA: xcolorsel -- display colors and names in X
itz Orphaning it.
Matej Ah, are you just looking for another maintainer (RFA), or
Matej really orphaning it (O)? I mean, are you willing to maintain
Matej it for the time being, or should the QA group take over?
Leave me as the maintainer for now.

Bug#164127: RFP: conglomerate -- Structured information authoring [...] and transformation system.
Roland What looks interesting to me, though, is mainly the XML Roland editor. Screenshots are available at Roland http://www.conglomerate.org/shots.html, and it looks like Roland *the* lst element missing for at least some organisations to Roland switch from Word/WYSIWYG editors to Docbook. In my Roland experience, Docbook is attractive to people, but they don't Roland want to type those SGML or XML tags by hand. Roland The website seems rather old, but the -devel mailing-list Roland still lives, it seems. I believe being packaged would bring Roland this promising piece of software the audience, visibility and Roland bug reports, in a word the momentum, it needs for its Roland development to accelerate towards a complete 1.0 release. Roland Please, someone? I'll be glad to test and sponsor this Roland package if you're a new maintainer and feel interested *hint* Roland *hint*. I'll take a look. Yes, I'd need sponsorship. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

Bug#160303: RFA: xcolorsel -- display colors and names in X
Package: wnpp Severity: normal xcolorsel is an X utility that displays the contents of the X color list file (/etc/X11/rgb.txt) together with tiles showing how the color looks on your screen. You can cut the color names/definitions in various formats (suitable for resource files or C source) so they can be pasted directly into source codes or resources. I am no longer interested in maintaining this because I have written a replacement based on the more modern gtk toolkit. Still, it might be interesting for ultra-minimalists :) -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

Bug#68199: saml - intent to adopt
Adrian You need a package ready when you want to do packaging in Adrian Debian. But you can: - find a sponsor by asking for Adrian sponsorship at debian-mentors or [1]. - present the package Adrian to your AM without having a sponsor Not what I meant - I meant the new requirement that somebody vouches for me to even join NM. Since I hate begging, I do need to have a sponsored package beforehand. Maybe here can be seen one of the side effects of that decision. Adrian You stated more than two months ago that you want to adopt Adrian saml. When you say yourself that you aren't working on it and Adrian that you won't work on it in the near future then please Adrian retitle the bug back from ITA to O to give other people Adrian that might be more interested in adopting this package the Adrian chance to adopt it. OK, I will decide what do to about this within a few days. I did that ITA partly because I do use this package and it was in acute danger of being removed (as you know, it was even made an example of on devel, by yourself?) -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

Bug#68199: saml - intent to adopt
Colin Hi Ian, You filed an ITA for saml a couple of months ago - I Colin just noticed that it has a few release-critical bugs against it Colin which are fairly easy to fix (some more architecture detection Colin in debian/rules is all that's required). Will you be able to Colin upload soon, or would you mind if I made a QA upload in the Colin meantime to clean these up? If you'll be able to get something Colin sorted out before the next bug-squashing party, say, then I Colin won't need to bother. Well, I still have a load of other things to look after, and I am not an official maintainer (still getting around to do all the things necessary for NM). So I wouldn't mind at all if you fix a few RCs. Of course I'd be grateful if there's a good changelog. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
