Thanks for the info, Nicolas. Didn't know out-of-date packages are also considered release-critical. Manoj, have you decided what to do about the fvwm package? I haven't started looking for a mentor since this package does not belong to me. I am willing to maintain it myself if you're no longer interested in dealing with fvwm. Forgot to mention: - The package at https://mentors.debian.net/package/fvwm is what I'm using everyday. - The package compiles using pbuilder on Debian Sid. - No error from lint. I've also tried reading all the relevant documentations, so the package should also satisfy the Debian Policy. Since I use FVWM everyday, I'd love to see an up-to-date version as part of Debian, along with some bugs closed. Again, I don't want to appear to be hijacking your package, but merely making my intention to help known. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
