[Fink-users] No longer maintaining three packages

Hi everybody, I'm afraid to announce that I'm going to drop the maintainership of my packages: - gnuplot-py(23|24|25) - ipython-py(23|24|25) - pyephem-py(23|24|25) - pyx-py(23|24) My daytime job is becoming too much time demanding, and at the moment I don't even have a Fink distribution activ
