retitle 515544 ITA: scheme48 -- A simple, modular, and lightweight Scheme implementation
owner 515544 !
thanks

Hi Trent,

I am willing to adopt scheme48. I currently maintain ypsilon, an R6RS Scheme  
interpreter that is waiting in NEW. Ypsilon only supports amd64 and x86; I
still use scheme48 on my powerpc and armel machines.

I do have a couple of questions about the package:

First, is there a reason why debian/scheme48.1 is shipped when doc/scheme48.man
is present in the source? doc/scheme48.man is set up as a template that can be
modified for each different binary.

Second, have:

 bugfix-wait-for-child-eats-100%-cpu.diff
 honor-destdir.diff

been forwarded upstream?

Third, is debian-user-name.diff needed? If this patch is necessary,
I plan to change it to give the hostname of the buildd used to build the
package, which is how emacs does it. What would be the name presented if
the patch wasn't applied?

Fourth, I presume that pkg-scheme48 is a dead group? I would have no issue
with starting a pkg-scheme group, or at least a way to coordinate scsh
with scheme48. I do plan to implement versioned releases of scheme48 so
it would be nice to have access to that group to edit policy.txt.

Thanks for orphaning a package that is not a mess. Have fun with Haskell! 
(If I remember our IRC convo correctly...)
