I intend to orphan the rsxs package. It has gone incredibly unmaintained
upstream, and there is a much better alternative, rss-glx, which I plan
to package instead. If this package is not adopted within a few months,
I'll just have rss-glx replace it and remove the rsxs package from
Debian.
The package description is:
Really Slick XScreenSavers (rsxs) is an X11 port of the Really Slick
Screensavers collection by Terry Welsh (http://www.reallyslick.com/).
.
The screensavers can either be run as stand-alone applications or get
integrated into XScreenSaver's list of active screensavers.
.
rsxs contains the following eye-candy:
* rs-plasma: Draws gooey colourful plasma stuff. Crank up the speed and
make it psychadelic!
* rs-cyclone: Simulates tornadoes on your computer screen.
* rs-fieldlines: A simulation of electric field lines between charged
particles. Zap!
* rs-helios: Particles explode onto the screen through smooth Helion
surfaces.
* rs-euphoria: Don't look at this if you suffer from motion sickness.
* rs-lattice: Fly through an infinite lattice of interlocking rings.
* rs-skyrocket: The mother of all fireworks screensavers.
.
For instructions for integrating this package into xscreensaver,
please see /usr/share/doc/rsxs/README.Debian after installing this package.
.
