Well, I made a package of 0.2.7 that's lintian and linda clean. It's a newer version and has some bug fixes, but I'm not sure if it should really be uploaded. First off, I couldn't get 0.3.1 to compile for me, so I wasn't able to make a package closing the GTK2 bug on beaver. Secondly, and more importaintly, upstream isn't really alive. On to the beaver-devel list, the main maintainer said, >Personally, I have lost a lot of interest in the project.

Nowadays, I am more of a GNOME convert, so >I use gedit in my day-to-day editing and have little motivation to >continue development of Beaver > > I really like beaver, but I don't really have the time ( or really the skills ) to maintian the actual code base. Given that, what should happen? My package of beaver 0.2.7 is at http://csacca.thecsl.org/debian/beaver/ but perhaps beaver should be dropped from debian as no one is maintaining the code any more.
