Package: wnpp Severity: normal The current maintainer of tolua, Jimmy Kaplowitz <jimmy@debian.org>, is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now. Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you are *sure* you will have enough time and attention to work on it. If you want to be the new maintainer, please see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Using Lua API and tag method facilities, tolua maps C/C++ constants, external variables, functions, classes, and methods to Lua. .

Therefore, I orphan this package now. Thank you for shaming me into action with regard to this package. The original reason I had packaged this went away, and I don't use it myself. Once enough time had gone by without any action (about 3 years), I had become so disinterested already when the wishlist new-version bug was filed that I let the bug sit until I was too ashamed at my neglect to deal with it. Even though I don't use this package anymore, it is a very low-maintenance package, and I now have both the time and motivation to return to my Debian packaging duties and give this package the minimal attention it needs. Spurred by your orphaning action, I now have created a package that's fully up-to-date on both upstream and Debian Policy changes, and am about to reply to everywhone who has emailed about tolua, then resume my maintainership by uploading the package to Debian. Rest assured I am now quite determined not to let this problem happen again for tolua or for any package I may maintain in the future. - Jimmy Kaplowitz jimmy@debian.org
