ncftp and glimpse orphaned...
I'm officially orphaning ncftp and glimpse, for a couple of reasons.
The biggest is that I haven't used either in quite a long time---I'm
now an extraordinarily happy lftp user, and I long ago became fed up
with glimpse's sorry excuse for boolean searching and switched to (the
now free) swish.
The other reason is that neither is free software, and I'm coming to
find it much less interesting/rewarding to work on such packages.
Both have bugs filed on them, none showstoppers, just annoyances which
will probably never get fixed upstream (both projects have been pretty
stagnant of late).
I am, by the way, getting back into active maintainership after a bit
of an informal hiatus. I hope to use the next few weeks to get new
versions of all my packages out, compiled for both alpha and i386.
Cheers,
Mike.
