I guess a 'wishlist' bug to get it updated may be in order, or (if its not too far gone) an NMU of the latest? because if its that out-of-date, its not really 'serving our users' as the Debian mandate goes :-( and should not be in Etch. Unless someone has the desire to possibly do a 'friendly' takeover if the maintainer is MIA. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
