Bernhard Fischer: > Attached patch implements support for transparent terminals in dselect. > It also contains various cosmetic fixes as well as a potential real bug > in lib/varbuf.c. Hi Bernhard. Please see [http://bugs.debian.org/282283], reported by dpkg's lead maintainer Scott James Remnant. After reading the bug log, you may wish to take over from me there. You would seem at first glance to have the motivation and the skills for it, and by contributing this patch it seems to me that you have earned the right. As to me, I have not lost interest, but my progress on # 282283 is too slow for Dpkg development to wait for me, if there is a more capable person who also has interest and who will devote more time than I will. If you do not act on this, eventually I will, but in the meantime you are not required to wait for me. > [i sent this to dpkg-devel a few weeks ago but got no reponse, so > retrying here; please keep me CC'ed, i'm not on d-d] Sorry for overlooking your earlier post there. The overlook was inadvertent. (For completeness of the # 282283 BTS record to which a version of this message is copied, it is noted here that Bernhard's patch is found at [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/05/msg01021.html].) -- Thaddeus H.
