Hi, unfortunately, the maintainer of musixtex, Anthony Fok, doesn't have the time to work on it; I didn't get a reply for 4 weeks now. I incorporated the new upstream version, fixed the remaining open bugs (except #122204, which is unreproducible) in musixtex and moved it from non-free to main due to the "new" GPL licensing policy upstream. I also contacted the upstream author and repackaged the examples to adequately supplement the now GPL'ed package. The Debian package location: http://www.antcom.de/musixtex/ The debian/changelog entry: > musixtex (1:0.112-1) unstable; urgency=low > > * New upstream release (Closes: #193729) > * Moved package from Section: non-free/tex to tex (GPL now) > * Added Section: doc for musixtex-doc (Closes: #135762) > * Removed wrong links from Description field (Closes: #193707) > * Removed misleading reference to GNU LilyPond from Description > (Closes: #169918) > * Adjusted debian/postinst: added texhash call instead of manual > configuration (Closes: #33107) > * Adjusted debian/copyright (-> GPL) > * Standards-Version: 3.5.9 > > -- Roland Stigge <stigge@antcom.de> Sun, 18 May 2003 15:33:14 +0200 Please feel free to review, discuss and upload it. The maintainer didn't prepare a new upload for more than 3 years now but once authorized Andreas Tille to NMU: > Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 09:16:03 +0800 > From: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org> > To: "Tille, Andreas" <TilleA@rki.de> > Subject: Re: MusixTex NMU > > > ... > > Yes, it would be wonderful if you could prepare an NMU to update the > package and fix the bugs. Unfortunately, Andreas also doesn't have the time now and delegated me to this list. Thanks in advance! (btw: It's not that I want to "hijack" this package. I'm already maintaining enough ones. Andreas just suggested the lists and I didn't get any reply at debian-devel. So generally: What about packages officially maintained, but practically not?) bye, Roland -- Roland Stigge
