Yes, they're both really orphaned -- feel free to adopt them, under the umbrella of the GNUstep team or not, as you wish. Note that gnustep-dl2 is more complex and more important, too. It has to be split into 2 binary packages -- dbmodeller.app and gnustep-dl2. The first should contain the DBModeller app, the second the tools and the libEO* libraries shipped in /usr/lib/gnustep-dl2, and not in /usr/lib (although they're intended to be public libraries, nothing in GNUstep uses them) [1]. Also, gorm.app should be split to ship its public libraries in separate packages, properly versioned, and gnustep-dl2 should build-depend on the corresponding libgorm*-dev package(s). You can file an important bug against gorm.app and let it block your ITP. Thanks! [1] Alternatively, they could be packaged as proper shared libraries, but this seems like a waste to me at this point. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
