Bug#546946: [Fwd: O: isdnutils -- ISDN-related packages and utilities]
Paul,
thank you for your response.
I'd like to declare my intentions (and best intent) to take over
maintenance of this package together with Jan-Michael Brummer and Björn
Steveker. We'd be happy to have others on the maintenance team, in
fact, we're still hoping for it.

mISDN is not available in Debian at all, yet, or is it? There's a very
old and seemingly dead package in experimental, but that's about it.
Looking at upstream CVS the project also looks a bit stalled. But it
may be that I'm just not looking at the right place.
I know I have much less expertise than you in this area, but I hope we
can stitch together a team with enough time and skill to make sure this
package just does not die before its time. As such, it would be really
nice to have you onboard, even if you don't know how much you can
contribute.
I'm not sure I understand your point about CAPI correctly. In fact, the
reason I got interested in this package is to have the work done by
Jan-Michael for a new CAPI into Debian/Ubuntu. Maybe you can clarify
the relation? I understand mISDN is a rewrite of hisax, what does it
mean for Debian going into the future?
Some work has started and is available for public consumption at
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/isdnutils.git;a=summary First
step is to prepare a dfsg-tarball (see the dfsg branch for that) to deal
with the recently reported license issues and also to get Jan-Michael's
work included.
Regards
Rolf
