They did submit it to the package tracker, on 1 Feb 2005. They probably gave up waiting to get it through the approval process. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1114201&group_id=17203&atid=414256


Thanks for digging this out, I guess I should have checked the tracker. Maybe we can revive this after all.

I expect we'll see more packages that use fink, but are released outside of the fink distribution system. Packagers probably get frustrated at the great length of time required to get packages through the approval process. We saw a bit of a burst of activity in getting packages approved lately, but there are still over 100 package submissions with status "Undergoing Validation", and some of them have been over two years in the approval process.
