Hi, The prospective adopter of wmakerconf, Herbert P. Fortes Neto, has contacted me (I am a previous maintainer and upstream of the package) privately and told me that he no longer has interest in maintaining it. He did already make a new upstream release, version 2.12, which is not yet in Debian. In the interests of including the fixes from that version into the next Debian release, I plan to make an upload of wmakerconf 2.12 on behalf of QA. (Note that I am not re-adopting the package however.) Although it has not been updated since September 2006, I do not think this package should be removed from Debian at this time. The popcon figures are quite high (inst: 801, vote: 143, recent: 36) and as far as I know the package works fine. I'll try to look into #466513/#468390 and get more info from the submitter before making the upload of 2.12. (Submitter of those bugs appears to be running Ubuntu so I'm not sure why the reports found their way to the Debian BTS.) best regards, -- Kevin B.
