The package hasn't been orphaned, but I as the only upstream author
asked for it to not enter.. lenny (!) because I thought I implement
some different API for it. But in recent years I haven't done a
thing about it (except of accepting some patches which implements
support for additional RR types, and fixing bugs in these patches).
#493599 - while most technical points are gone now, one point
raised there is valid: maybe there's no need to have yet another
resolver? I dunno, I wrote it for a reason but I don't have time
to support it, and while it does not have lots of bugs, it is
missing some features, in particular it is DNSSEC support.
Besides, I'm now a debian developer, and it'd be quite a bit
silly to ask another person to package my own software for
debian... ;)
