No. Debian's Constitution actually states that you can't force a developer to do any work he or she doesn't want to do. > Is there a procedure for taking a package away from a maintainer, and > having someone else take care of maintaining it? Yep, it's possible to hijack a package. I don't think there's any documented procedure--usually the developer declares his intention to hijack publicly and then may do so if no one objects. -- For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
