Bug#572734: O: gourmet -- A gtk-based recipe organizer and shopping list generator
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I brought gourmet into Debian and intended to maintain it properly.
Interaction with upstream was more cumbersome than what I would like
and as such my motivation dropped. I really don't like duplicate
work, but my attempts to convince upstream to focus on programming
instead of creating confusion and inefficiencies by releasing
improperly packaged *.deb files were futile.
Debian has dropped behind the latest release in upstream. That was
intentional, because at some point in time I was told, they'd prefer
if packaging was done for the stable releases. But stable isn't
seeing any work or bug fixes, all work goes into upstream unstable.
I tried to accomodate upstream's wishes, but I think they are
contradictory. Now that the package is in Debian, keeping it
uptodate should not be too hard from a technical POV. If you know
of a way to work around the issues mentioned or don't mind them,
please consider adopting this package.
Regards
Rolf
The package description is:
Gourmet Recipe Manager is a gtk-based recipe organizer and shopping
list generator intended for the GNOME desktop environment (though it
does not need all the GNOME libraries). Gourmet can import
Mealmaster(tm) files and can export recipes in a number of formats,
including text, RTF and web pages. Gourmet also can calculate nutritional
information for recipes.
