Bug#96740: O: giram -- 3D modeller for POV-Ray

["Jérôme Marant" <jerome@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-05-08
Severity: normal

  I've decided to orphan this package (giram, giram-gnome, giram-mesa,
  giram-gnome-mesa) for the following reasons:

  - the upstream author is not responsive (possibly because he's working at
    MadrakeSoft)
  - it's development is very slow (8 months between 0.1.7 and 0.1.8)
  - the current version in Debian does not build any more. Neither does the
    current upstream version. Moreover, I'm not experienced enough with
    autotools. I contacted the author may times but did not get a reply.
  - it is poorly featured and removing it won't be a big loss for Debian.
  - I'm not using it any more.

  If someone thinks he/she can work out these problems and that giram is
  worth staying in Debian (despite all what I said), please adopt it right
  now.

  If noone intends to adopt it, I'll request for it's removal.

  Cheers,
