Hi, [I was suggested to ask on this list after mails to debian-mentors@l.d.o] Recently I have invested quite some time to prepare a NMU package for lesstif2 [0]. Lesstif did not have a regular update in 1.5 years and definitely could use some attention (the current maintainer did not respond to my attempts to communicate). In my package I solved the following debian bugs: 396199, 479779, 503361, 314440, 43640, 87745, 356017, 496081 and 330057 by patching the code with patches available from upstream, Fedora and the BTS. Apparently, quite some application from Debian Science depend on lesstif, so maybe there is somebody here that could have a look at the package. The first debdiff is available in bug 522157 [1] where also the discussion can be found from the mentors maillist improving the changes. The latest version of the package can be found on mentors.debian.net [2]. I also intend to work with upstream (nearly dead by the looks of it, but I got commit rights) to improve the source code and eventually a new point release. Unfortunately that will be somewhat slow because I am unfamiliar with the code. So again, is somebody here interested in reviewing the package and comment on it? With kind regards, Paul [0] OSF/Motif 2.1 implementation released under LGPL [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522157 [2] - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lesstif2 - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/lesstif2/lesstif2_0.95.0-2.3.dsc
