Technically, this decision was revoked, and the upstream continued the development, though moribundly, until 2006. Since 2002, the former Debian maintainer of these packages, Kevin B. McCarty, also played a role of substitute upstream author and kept them operational until he retired from Debian in the end of 2009. My co-maintainer, Bastien Roucaries, and myself will follow Kevin's work, and are planning to fork a free version of CERNLIB, as I mentioned in this thread. Kind regards, - Lifeng --
