My apologies for jumping the gun; you haven't responded to any bugs on your package in almost a year; others had to NMU for the 1.0 version and the Perl 5.8.0 transition, neither of which you acknowledged. As the package still has a maintainer I look forward to the 1.1 package. Thanks.
p.s. the crack is excellent, other than its tendancy to cause momentary lapses in judgement, thanks for asking. -- _ivan On Wed, Apr 23, 2003 at 10:37:11PM -0700, Ron wrote: > > Howdy, > > re: > > > > Package: wnpp > > > > > > Maintainer appears to be MIA - has not responded to bug reports on this > > > package in almost one year. > > > > > > Orphaning this package so that someone active can take it over.
