Severity: important
Author is excited about getting this packaged for Debian.

License is GPL
I think this will go into contrib, since it uses PubMed's database,
and it is pretty useless without access to their database. The code itself
is free, and I think someone could easily modify this into doing many other
similar database searches. Imagine if someone tweaked this to do searches
on common web sites, so it would email you anytime the topic you desired
was mentioned.
I'm still waiting in the new maintainer queue, but I'm sure I can get this
uploaded via sponsorship.
BioMail is a small web-based application for medical researchers,
biologists, and anyone who wants to know the latest information about
a disease or a biological phenomenon. It is written to automate
searching for recent scientific papers in the PubMed Medline database.
BioMail is free and will stay free.
What does BioMail do?
Periodically BioMail does a user-customized Medline search and sends
all matching articles recently added to Medline to the users' e-mail
address. HTML-formatted e-mails generated by BioMail can be used to
view selected references in medline format (compatible with most
reference manager programs).
Why is BioMail helpful?
If you use Medline, it may be hard to remember when you did your last
search. Often you must scan titles you have already seen to be certain
you didn't miss an important reference. BioMail will perform routine
searches for you. This program alerts users to all new papers in their
fields automatically. It also helps the user to 'refine' search
patterns once and for all. There is no need to wonder: 'What was that
great search pattern I used last Saturday?'. All patterns are safe in
the database and can be accessed, tuned, or deleted any time.
It is also useful for countries where access to the Internet is not
yet widely available. If a person has a permanent e-mail address, but
only sporadic www access, she/he only needs to fill out a BioMail form
once and then will receive new references from Medline continually.
License
It is released under GNU GPL license. This means it can be freely
used, distributed, modified and redistributed as a new application, or
it can even be sold for money, as long as the original or modified
source codes remain freely available (and a little respect to the
author is shown).
Requirements
BioMail was written in Perl for Linux. It was also checked under San
Solaris7, Irix 6.5 (on SGI), Tru64 Unix 4.OE (on Digital alpha), and
should be fine for other Unix OSes.
BioMail requires a standard Perl distribution and two additional Perl
modules from CPAN -- LWP::Simple and Mail::Mailer.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 600 days.
- It haven't had any activity recently.
- The amount of ITPs on the Debian BTS is huge and we need to
clean up a bit the place.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 123456
thanks bts
Replacing '123456' for the number of your RFP bug. The subject of the
mail is ignored. Or if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the first mass wnpp closing that will be done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 450 days and finally, the
ones older than 365 days (an automatic script will close *inactive*
RFPs when they reach one year old).
A similar process is being applied to the ITP wnpp bugs in these
days.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:54:42 -0500
