I'd rather keep it, unless someone can recommend an alternate input multiplexor that is being maintained more agressively. Use cases include things like binding multibutton joysticks to keyboard events (e.g. MS sidewinder commander), supporting function keyboards (e.g. Belkin n52), managing foot pedals (e.g. Kinesys foot switches), doing something with big knobs (e.g. PowerMate), handling mice with far too many knobs and buttons (e.g. Buffalo Flip3D), etc. I don't expect most people have these things, but for those of us that do, it's nice to be able to configure them to do something interesting in a consistent manner. I'll update it for lucid (upstream has 3.5). > lashwrap This is an incredibly useful utility for those using LASH to manage audio production sessions. Upstream has not made newer releases, but it has as yet attracted no bug reports in LP, and it worked for me last I tried it (on karmic last week: I haven't set up a lucid system for audio production testing yet). -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

There are plenty of alternatives for small-scale emacs-like editors. Although I think this is the only small one which does X11 with really cool effects. Oh well =) > sword-text-viet > sword-text-tagalog > sword-text-itadio > sword-text-rst > sword-text-frelsg These are bibles! Hence they don't change very often And they were part of debian. My team (Debian/Ubuntu) pkg-crosswire were meant to take over these and update them, but unfortunately that didn't happen yet =( There are alternative means to download them (not using apt but crosswire frontends). We got into an argument with upstream on how to package these and handle them in front-ends. So for now please remove them cause none of the frontends are currently available in Ubuntu which will automagiclly pick these up. > > Of course, that's a lot of packages.

list of removal candidates
Hi, The following source packages: - are in universe or multiverse - are not in Debian unstable - have not been updated in Ubuntu since Ubuntu hardy (=> same version in hardy and lucid) - are installed on less than 0.1% of Ubuntu systems, according to popcon (=> popcon < 1400 installations) I have gone through each of them, and I think that they are good candidates for removal from Ubuntu. Could you please go through the list, and try to find packages that should be kept for some reason? # packages that were part of Debian at some point: chpax vh dart replicator ras libforms-doc asis-doc cl-aspectl nawm aladin toolbar-fancy cl-fad pyragua jmp albert libwww-doc pfmon dpkg-ftp qemacs libannodex hbf-kanji48 dpkg-multicd mirrordir syck libxfontcache euro-support # packages that were apparently never part of Debian (at least they # weren't in etch or lenny) libroxen-form libroxen-ecms libaspectr outo wulfware libspread-session-perl emilda-print japana pclcomp vectormath kagemai mestatus gopersist sense-region reformat libalgorithm-numerical-shuffle-perl lms hsc depview cell-gdb howm libtree-perl htmlpp qchat paralogger pdumpfs-rsync tablix libhtml-pager-perl vdr-plugin-skinsoppalusikka libdbg libgames-cards-perl libfxscintilla sword-text-viet sorune cafix musixpss vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs reverend cell-programming-primer anjsp happycoders-emacs libcgikit-ruby banana smartdoc fgr libsocket sword-text-tagalog loqui bkp at-poke qdbusbridge mobile-application-service zebedee sugar-sliderpuzzle-activity sugar-flipsticks-activity sugar-jigsawpuzzle-activity nbsmtp v2strip gizmod lashwrap tclcrypt jpackage-utils sixpack-bibtex libexporter-cluster-perl wakkabox dbmdeep muine-shell mosml gafix synctree x11rec console-freecell squeak-plugin-image squeak-sources3 claw4 spu-newlib tkbibtex cell-gcc opensg sqlite-ruby ximp3 termlauncher-applet cell-binutils klavier hardware-connected libcafix sword-text-itadio waon ppu-sysroot grml-vpn gournal squash sword-text-rst sword-text-frelsg sugar-logviewer-activity mateedit sugar-connect-activity fceu-server sugar-memorize-activity ubuntu-laptop-mode imqv2 plagiat update-apt apt-mark-sync Of course, that's a lot of packages.
