Well, that note was accurate at the time I wrote it. :-) I'm about to
start full-time work, so I should have more time to maintain Debian
packages than I did whilst at university.
<rambling>
The key problem is Internet access. I have several accounts, all at
Monash University:
* Computer center systems (lamble@silas.cc.monash.edu.au,
lamble@aurora.cc.monash.edu.au). These will be deleted any time
soon (they're staff accounts, I no longer work as a casual at Monash.)
* Yoyo account (lamble@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au). Should last until at
least March, possibly April or May depending on the sysadmin.
* Novell account (sjlam1@student.monash.edu.au). Will be disabled at
the end of February.
* Accounts on Linux systems in the library (sjl@*.lib.monash.edu.au).
Should last indefinitely (I know the sysadmin ;-)
</rambling>
I'm intending to get myself a permanent connection to my home (yes, I'm
addicted to email, amongst other things :-) When that happens, I'll be
picking up again with the project:
* LyX (if nobody else has taken it over. I'm _sure_ somebody said that
he'd do it..)
* fsp (it seems to be unwanted, unloved, ... ;-)
* Modula-3 (compiles into packages just fine with libc5; there are
issues to deal with under libc6.)
* cvsup (once Modula-3 is working properly.)
I should be back in action within a month or two. As for LyX -- the best
way to proceed would probably be to package 0.11.46 or something of the
sort. (0.12.0pre6, perhaps?)
