Severity: normal

I took over the pbbuttonsd package this year because it wasn't in a releasable
state and I cared about it. It should be in a reasonable good shape for Sarge
now.

I have to admit however that I do not care enough about it to give it
the work it needs. This isn't because it was bad software, it isn't or
because it was dead upstream (he answers often quicker to Debian bug reports
than I) but because the powermanagment is still a moving target and
the package is still in a state where design aspects can change very
quickly.

(Additionaly I have many Debian duties that I rank higher than this package
and I have to reduce my workload a bit)

So if someone would be interested in the package I would glad to hand it
over. I can offer sponsorship or co-maintainance, too.

The gtkpbbuttons and powerprefs packages are merely front-ends to pbbuttonsd
and all three packages should be maintained by the same maintainer. The
latter one are very easy to handle, though, only pbbuttonsd needs special
attention because of the system integration.

Description:
PBButtons daemon to handle special hotkeys of Apple computers

PBButtons is a program suite to handle the special hotkeys of an Apple
iBook, Powerbook or TiBook. With this programs the keys for the
display brightness, the volume of speaker and headphone, the mute key
and the eject key will do their job as expected.

Hmm, should have retitled instead. Anyway, closing this bug since that
will be less confusing.

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I rarely use my Powerbook anymore since I bought a new laptop.

I already packaged the latest upstream version but didn't get around to test
and upload it (for some months now :( ).

You can find it at http://people.debian.org/~djpig/orphan-pbbuttons
This directory also contains a tarball of my CVS repository in which
I maintained pbbuttonsd and related packages. Just in case you're interested
in the history of the packaging.

Anyone adopting this package should probably also adopt gtkpbbuttons and
powerprefs (for which I will separate O bugs though).
