The bug you mention is severity important but there's an unfixed RC bug open since February. #615795. No maintainer activity on the package for a year, 2 NMU's already. I'd say that qualifies as orphaned. No watch file, no patch system in use but something like 40 upstream files modified in the current sources. Most of those are simply not having a sane clean: rule but there are changes to .c files too. There may well be a new upstream version but the state of the current package makes an update look like more work than it deserves. So there is absolutely no point orphaning it - it needs a new maintainer to fix all the lintian issues, apply the patches already in the BTS waiting, sanitise the debian packaging, add the watch file and then update it. CC'ing the maintainer but if there's no interest in, say, a week, I'll file for removal instead, RoQA, RC-buggy, low popcon, cruft. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
