Of course, the fact that the mailing list isn't so active is because
everything simply works, so no one has any questions. (Note: this is
partly a joke :-)
But seriously, if you thought that the port was dead, you should have
taken a look at the dates of the alpha .debs on the ftp site; you would
have seen that the port is ACTIVELY maintained. The technical non-alpha
specific discussions are held on debian-devel; whenever there's
something alpha-specific that needs to be discussed, you'll see mention
of it here on debian-alpha. Personally I'm *very* glad that debian-alpha
is low volume; debian-devel is mostly unreadable because of the hunderds
of messages. I end up deleting very large parts of it.
