Dear Hans-Christoph, last year we had an email exchange (quoted below) in which you told me that you did not wish to continue maintaining your Fink packages for OS X 10.6 and beyond. Of course I was and am sorry to hear that, but such is life...
Back then, I forgot to act immediately upon this, but today I once more came across a package of yours (once again libquicktime1), remembered this, and proceeded to mark it as unmaintained. I was about to do the same with your remaining packages when I noticed that actually you had made some commits to your packages in the 10.7 tree as late as 2013/02/02 (including an update for libquicktime1 to use a newer FFmpeg). Thus, I would appreciate if you could clarify your position as of today: 1) You changed your mind, and want to continue maintaining your packages even for 10.7 and 10.8. 2) You still want to drop those packages (at least for 10.7 and beyond). In case of 1: Yay! And of course I'll restore libquicktime1 ASAP (or feel free to do it yourself). In case of 2: :-(. In that case, please change all your packages to "Maintainer: None", to avoid future confusion. Or, if you prefer, I can do that for you quickly. Normally, in situation 2, I would also remove your commit bit; but since you expressed willingness to maintain your packages for 10.4 / 10.5, I would be happy to leave it. Aand if from time to time you feel like updating your former packages for 10.7 and beyond, you would of course still be free to do so, like everybody else.

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under version control? Why should you start doing it?
