X-Debbugs-CC: barbier@linuxfr.org
Reading README.belocs-locales-{bin,data} shows these packages both build from
subsections of the glibc source. "Upstream" is an alioth package that
doesn't have anything in it's CVS tree and doesn't look like it's had
activity on anything except the mailing-list for years. The mailing list
hasn't had any non-SPAM traffic since May, which was Denis Barbier requesting
a new maintainer.
I use this package on all my systems, so I was considering adopting it.
Unfortunately, the project seems quite dead, and its stated goals can be
handled by patches to the glibc package or binary-only uploads of the locales
package. If updates can't wait for a new release of Debian or a new update
of the stable release, they can go into debian-volatile.
No RC bugs have been filed against it, but in it's current state, I wouldn't
want it to go into the Lenny release. I think the ftp masters should pull it
from testing and unstable.
