Bug#429178: O: workbone -- A simple text-based CD player



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Description: A simple text-based CD player
 Workbone is a simple, curses-based CD player that is controlled by
 the num-lock keys. The cdtool package can be used to determine the
 contents of a CD before playing it.

The package appears to be abandoned upstream and there is an RC bug (which 
I wasn't able to reproduce on my AMD64 system), and I don't use this any 
more.

Furthermore, there seems to be a version of workbone inside the workman 
sources.  Since workbone is originally a fork of (a part of) workman, it 
would in my opinion make sense to unify these packages: namely, drop the 
separate workbone source and generate a workbone binary package from the 
workman sources.

However, I don't have the interest to push for these changes, so I am 
orphaning the package.  I'm sending a copy of this message to the workman
maintainer (and to the submitter of the only outstanding functionality-related
bug report against workbone).
