Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the metakit package.  The upstream maintainer
doesn't seem to have a clue about soname versioning, and me neither (and
I don't want to do one without upstream concensus).  For I know next to
nothing about soname versioning (beside the things in the library
package howto and the libtool infopages, which didn't enlighten me in
that respect) I think someone more into libraries would be needed to
maintain this package like it deserves.  Someone with python/tcl
knowledge would be a plus for there could be bindings compiled for
those, but I don't think that its a must for maintaining the package (I
don't know much about those languages neither).

The package description is:
 MetaKit is an embeddable database library. It lets you build applications
 which store their data efficiently, in a portable way, and which will not
 need a runtime installation. In terms of the data model, MetaKit takes
 the middle ground between RDBMS, OODBMS, and flat-file databases - yet it
 is quite different from each of them.

 Thanks to everyone interested,
Alfie
