Orphaning (some of) my packages



No, I'm not leaving (yet) the Debian project. I am, however, prepared to
acknowledge that I cannot handle properly some of my packages, mainly because I am
not using them myself any longer.

Before sending the official ITO to the wnpp I'm offering the following packages for
willing developers:

- cadubi - quite nice, not many changes upstream and only one bug which is already
fixed in NMU :)

- libio-stty-perl
- libnet-snmp-perl 
- libnet-whois-perl

- magpie - this is a useful package but upstream lost interest, I am losing it too
now :-(

- openuniverse - some bugs, I love this package but have no time to put it in
proper shape, there is not much being done upstream though. In any case the new
maintainer should coordinate with me since there are some issues regarding the
star data files

- roleplaying - only 2 bugs (one easy fix, one I've not had time to fix really)

- tnef - one bug fixed in NMU, I'm not using it any longer though.

- vrppd - two bugs, easy to fix. I wanted to experiment with it but didn't have the
time.

- tcltutor (non-free) - a few bugs and I'm not very Tcl knowledgeable (that's why I
packaged it). I believe the maintainer could be asked to move to a free license in
any case (since some restrictions I believe are unnecesary)

- dns-browse -  one bug, no time to fix, it could be useful to some people (me
included, upstream maintainer is very responsive BTW.

Interested DD please just send me a note (copy the list too to avoid duplicates).
All the packages are easy to maintain (i.e. you don't need high expertise to do
so) however knowledge of C/perl/Tcl is a plus for those packages that use them
(perl libraries for example :)
