Hello! I intent to adopt / hijack xdiskusage. It isn't really an adoption as the package hasn't been orphaned, it isn't a real hijack as I believe the maintainer Carlos Laviola is inactive for quite some time. On March 5th he has announced to leave the project as expressed in <http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mp3kult/news/2.html>, <http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mp3blaster/news/2.html> and <http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bookmarks/news/5.html>, but there was one more upload thereafter on April 30th, see <http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/oonsoo/news/1.html>. xdiskusage has a FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends filed against it since May 18th, but no reaction came from Carlos, please see <http://bugs.debian.org/249753> for details. I already asked whether I could adopt this package on June 22dn but didn't recieve a reply, see <http://bugs.debian.org/251697>. If you agree I could take this package over would please anybody be as kind as to sponsor an upload? I cannot do it myself yet, I'm only in the NM queue. Otherwise I'd ask on d-mentors, but this might take some time... I CCed Carlos so he can veto, I might be wrong after all... Thanks for taking your time, cheers, Flo
