Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal I maintain the circlepack package. It is one of the last handful of packages depending on xview, and #612533 asks for it to be ported away from it. Moritz mentioned in private e-mail that upstream (http://www.math.utk.edu/~kens/) has a Java reimplementation. However, on inspection, I find that that's a binary-only distribution.
I only ever took this package on as part of a spate of enthusiasm for adopting orphaned packages, and I'm not interested enough in it to engage in an ongoing battle to keep it working. http://popcon.debian.org/source/by_inst only lists 14 installations. Given that circlepack was always a research project, I suspect that many users will be happy just installing it from the upstream author's web site. Please remove circlepack.
