I am the maintainer of einspline in Debian (under the Debian Science
umbrella).
I am wondering what should be done with that package. It seems
abandoned upstream, does not compile against upcoming GCC 7 (see
#853385), and I personally no longer use it.
As someone who has a deep knowledge of various B-Spline codes, what is
your opinion? Should we remove it from Debian, since it is abandoned
upstream, or is it worth keeping it by adding our own patches? Has
someone created a lively fork? Would you be interested in maintaining
it (upstream and/or in Debian)?
Cheers,
