Thanks for answering so soon, Hendrik!

I agree 100% with you, there's no sense in risking everyone with a no
longer maintained soft, I didn't even known this fork existed.

Fortunately it's in heavy development, and, as you mentioned, It's
indeed released on 1.0 RC2.

I'm giving it a try, and I'm proposing it being packaged. Volunteers? :-)


Therefore, I think there's not sense in keeping this two bugs open. I'm
 closing this.
