It seems nobody is interested by adopting this package so far. Some updates since the package was orphaned: - Upstream appears to be dead, and the upstream URL no longer works - The package currently FTBFS with GCC 15 (#1097155) and will also FTBFS once gettext 0.26 gets into unstable (#1126971) - The package depends on obsolete libusb 0.1 and libftdi 0.20 libraries, and need to be ported to libusb 1.0 (#810427) and libftdi 1 (#810375) - Popcon shows that the number of installations is very low (currently 22 installations) and is slowly decreasing There I believe this package should be removed from the archive. If there are no objections, I plan to reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org asking for removal. Regards Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B [email protected] http://aurel32.net
