This one is Mostly Fixed(tm). Been in contact with it's maintainer about
it. (NB: this bug is already in the 'fixed' state).

Been in contact with Adam about this too. Will NMU in ~1 month if those
bugs are still here.

Yann Dirson orphaned it recently. We need someone who can speak tcl to
correct this bug (I don't).

This bug is 'fixed'.

Will have to do something about it...

Errm... Since I recently adopted Lilo, I guess I need to have a closer
look at it ;)

Already closed I think.

Does anyone still really uses Mosaic?! We'd rather remove this
package from the distribution. (Also mosaic is upstream orphaned since
years, so upstream bugs won't be fixed).

yep, but this one is not fixed. I don't know enough about window managers
to maintain properly fvwm2. I guess this bug has been obsoleted since we
use 'menu' instead.
Anyone want to adopt fvwm2 BTW?

This one is 'fixed'.

Not really critical since this one is the libc5 version.

Indeed, this one is now fixed.

Michael just told he's working on it, and he already did several uploads,
so...

Errm, *blush*
This package is mostly in the same case than Mosaic: it's upstream
orphaned and we have plenty of other packages with the same
functionnality. I'll probably ask soon for this package to be withdrawn
from the ftp site.


NB: The problem is that this lists quite a few bugs which were already set
to 'fixed'.
