Camaelon is not dead in the sense that it's an important component of Etoile, and really we should support it ;-) But I'm in theory the one in charge of it, and quite overworked (still finishing my thesis at the same time), so I can't really work on it for now. I don't even have a running linux machine at home at the moment (!) and I didn't look into gnustep since alpenstep last summer. In a couple of months at most I'll be completely done with the thesis though, so I should be able to reinvest some time into etoile and gnustep... If somebody can chip in (quentin?) and fix that issue, that'd be great...
