Bug#454258: Bug#446664: inform: should this package be removed?
Hello Jan, What's the status of this ITA? Note that, just like Lucas, I'm not interested in inform myself, but just checking packages that should probably be removed. It would be nice if you could provide some status information or even closing this report by uploading a new package revision ;) Cheers, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.

Inform is definitely on my todo list, and I will either release a new version or file the removal request myself. ;) Regards & thanks for pinging! Jan signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Would you be interested in adopting ? Note that I'm not interested in either inform-mode or inform. I just came across this while doing some orphaned packages cleanup. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

owner 454258 ! retitle 454258 ITA: inform -- A compiler for adventure games thankyou Hi Lucas, thanks for bringing this to my attention! When I had taken inform-mode, I had also looked at inform, but there were no removal bugs then, so I assumed the package was still looked after. I use inform from time to time and will definitely have a look at the package. As far as I can tell from a quick glance at the SF page, Inform 7 is under the GPL, and there are also (upstream-provided) packages for Debian and Ubuntu. Programming I7 is fundamentally different from I6, however, so we shouldn't remove one in favour of the other. (To be honest, I prefer version 6 myself.) Besides, the bugs in the current inform package are all trivially fixable... I think it's worth keeping even though the Interactive Fiction community is quite small. Thanks!
