Hmm, right. Maybe I've moved too fast here. The reasons for requesting removal are: - relatively low user base (although it is a niche product) - inactive upstream - OSS rather than ALSA (although we could add alsa-oss or something) - the maintainer asked for it - RC bug re: yada packaging (which is fixable) The alternative to removal is that we fix the yada packaging issue, and either Daniel continues to maintain it without an upstream, or we orphan the package. It would help the case for preserving gramofile if someone were writing fixes for the bugs - would you be able to contribute, or find someone who could, Dale?
