Bug#360269: O: sanduhr -- an alarm clock, which is designed as a hourglass
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I hereby orphan the sanduhr package: I currently do not have time to work on this, and if I had time I would probably work on the upstream version instead.

Bug#360266: O: compilercache -- a caching wrapper around compilers to speed up compilations
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I hereby orphan the compilercache package: I do not have time to work on this, and the program is probably superseded by the ccache package. The package description is: Compilercache is a wrapper around your C and C++ compilers. Each time you compile something, the wrapper puts the result of the compilation into a cache. And once you compile the same file again, the result will be picked from the cache instead of being recompiled. . Care is taken to ensure that compilation with and without compilercache always results in identical object files. . Note that this package is very similar to the ccache package. .

Bug#206691: alternative Debian packages for matplotlib 0.63.4
Hello, I produced a set of alternative Debian packages for matplotlib version 0.63.4. These are based on Vittorio Palmisano's packages, but include the following changes: * I fixed the dependencies and build-dependencies. The package should now build fine on build-daemons and such. * I only build the gtkagg backend, to keep the list of dependencies slim. * I made the package build without an X-server connection. * The package does no longer install duplicates of the Vera* TTF font files but uses the ones from ttf-bitstream-vera instead. This reduces the binary package size by several 100kb. * The example scripts in the -doc package are executable. You can find my packages on my homepage at http://seehuhn.de/debian/ Comments and suggestions are very welcome. Vittorio: fell free to incorporate all these changes into your packages as you see fit.

The current state is: 1) On Feb 14 I uploaded Max's packages to the Debian server. I expected them to appear in the archive shortly after, but they didn't. You can a copy of these packages at http://seehuhn.de/debian/ 2) Ftp master seems to have communicated with Max, but somehow neither Max nor ftp master are willing to tell me what is the matter. Very strange! I asked Max several times and after this failed I mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] on March 23 but I never got an answer. 3) In the meantime Max seems to have vanished or ftpmaster killed him or so. The last message I got from him dated March 18. I have no idea who to proceed. If you have a package ready, maybe you simply upload it and try whether you are luckier with the ftp masters? In any case, let me know who things are going. Best regards, Jochen -- http://seehuhn.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Is this really true? I find this a little bit surprising. > It also includes an assorted GTK 1.x theme. ^^ This does not match the short package description. And in my opinion it does not make much sense either, because the next version of Debian will ship without Gnome-1. I would suggest to drop the GTK 1.x stuff from the package. By the way, there is a grammatical error, too: "an assorted theme" sounds wrong to me. What do you think?
