Unless someone intends to look after the existing software and maintain it within Debian then the answer will be yes - remove it. Fix it or let it be removed due to inaction. Simple. Unmaintained software which is dead upstream and has not been ported to updated libraries in Debian is always a candidate for removal. Those who care about this software need to step up and do the work. That's all there is to it. It's not enough to just protest or complain - unless someone does the work, the package remains a candidate for removal. The RC bugs mentioned originally don't seem to be open any longer, so there is time for the work to be done. If the work isn't done, I'll reassign the removal bug myself. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
