RTS: XMailTool
Greetings: God bless you.
A couple of months ago, I indicated my interest in
adopting the orphaned package xmailtool. I've worked
on this-and-that, and studied -the-other, found out
that there is no active upstream maintainer, and so
assayed to fulfil that role, also (see .sig).
Anyway, I haven't yet focused on anything enough
to have actually packaged it, but hereby submit
a request for a sponsor anyway, as I feel that having
a deadline due to accountability to a sponsor can
increase that internal pressure to concentrate and
get it done.
Right now the upstream package is at version 3.1.2b
I don't know whether the 'b' means it was to be a
prelease to 3.1.2, or it was a bugfix release of that,
so my upstream version number shall be 3.1.3.0, and
incorporate items from the list on the webpage for it.
Goals I've conceived lately, but haven't gotten on the
list yet, include forking the code for the various
GUI toolkits, to give alternatives to the (what I
consider ugly) rather plain Xaw widgets: Xaw3D, Motif
(LessTif), GTK, Qt, ?
Any available sponsor?
