Package: wnpp Severity: normal The current maintainer of ftplib, Richard Braakman <dark@xs4all.nl>, has orphaned this package. Quoting Richard: > I originally picked up ftplib (long ago) because it seemed like a > useful idea, but these days libcurl does the same job much more > thoroughly. I've never actually used ftplib, even in cases where I > needed an ftp client library. In one case I actually ended up > writing my own instead. (Last time I checked, some packages had > started to depend on ftplib, so I couldn't just remove it. I asked > why they chose it but didn't get a clear answer.) If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.
