ITP & RFC c3270, pr3287, possibly others
I've taken x3270, and would like to add some related packages:
c3270: Curses 3270 emulator (definitely)
s3270: Scripted (expect like) communication (probably)
tcl3270: TCL scripted communication (maybe)
pr3287: Printer support for c3270/x3270 (definitely)
These all come from the same place:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7814/
and are fairly close to DFSG - I'm working with the upstream and others
to get these all truely DFSG so they can go in main (x3270 is currently
non-free because of a college copyright misunderstanding).
The reason this didn't just go to wnpp is I'd like some advice on
packaging:
* x3270, c3270
-contain pr3287 (which also has its own package)
-contain x3270if (an interface program for {c,x,s}3270)
-contain /etc/ibm_hosts and keymaps
-contain manpages for the above
So, I'm leaning on taking one package (say x3270) and having it
create a `3270-common` package which will contain the common items
and having the rest depend upon it.
Any thoughts (or wishes for s3270/tcl3270)?

<jim> Lemme make sure I'm not wasting time here... bcwhite will remove
pkgs that havent been fixed that have outstanding bugs of severity
"important". True or false?
<JHM> jim: "important" or higher. True.
<jim> Then we're about to lose ftp.debian.org and dpkg :)
* netgod will miss dpkg -- it was occasionally useful
<Joey> We still have rpm....
