Re: GAP 4r6p5 in sid

[Tobias Hansen <thansen@debian.org>]

Hi Bill,

thanks, that's awesome! I just want to point out that the Debian package
guava should be considered orphaned at the moment and I have no idea if
it's still working. Since it was packaged by Tim Abbott I guess it was
somewhat for Sage, but I don't know why it should be more important for
Sage than any other GAP package. So I suggest either you or someone else
take it or we remove it from the archive.

Cheers,
Tobias
