I now have ITPs for ‘inform6-compiler’ and ‘inform6-library’, and those now block <URL:https://bugs.debian.org/805704> the ITP for ‘inform6’. The packaging work for those two new packages is done, and my plan is to ask you to sponsor them to close Bug#807636 and Bug#807637 as a pre-requisite. Then I'm also waiting on David Griffith to release version “6.33.1” of his ‘inform6unix’ work, and that will be used as upstream for ‘inform6’ in Debian. Unless there are unforeseen changes needed, this packaging work is also ready. -- \ “Those are my principles.
