You > can also close the RFA bug. I would like to start small and then grow on the matter. First a fix here, just to bring the package up-to-date. Then, becoming its maintainer. Then, revamping the build system. Then, doing further updates.

Ping. :-) > Thanks for taking care of an aging package, too... Since I am a minimalist in software (both by necessity and by preference), I like smaller packages and I have interest in many other aging packages that seem to be orphaned or RFA'ed. As you have seen already, David has agreed to let me be package maintainer. I will probably become one after the new version migrates to testing (and I can contact the upstream site to download the newer releases). dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/magicfilter/magicfilter_1.2-60.1.dsc Thanks for your offer to sponsor my package, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : rbr...@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
