Good Day, dear GGI Developers! My name ist Martin and i have a debian package 'cthugha' that depends on 'mesa' libraries that depend on 'libggi'. In march 2001 they were out of sync and suddenly i was the maintainer of GGI for Debian. ;-) And i really want to be, but i'll still have to learn a lot! I follow and archive 'ggi-develop' since then (coding and release internals deleted) and try to grab what that GGI is and how it works. I found some more hints during the last days (Brians roadmap for future directions, mostly) but i live under the impression that i'm not the only one to be a little disturbed by all that libs with their fine names and the projects going on. I think the state of GGI in Debian was a little sad - Charles, the former maintainer built and maintained some well thought pkgs and did a very good job to provide a stable basis, but also due to the unusual nature of GGI, it's docs and so on, it simply is required for some other pkgs but besides that, i'm afraid, doesn't get too much attention. I'm still in the process to keep up with his old work, ggidemos and xserver-ggi still have to be changed to conform to current debian policy, svgalib4libggi is in an unusable state and i'm actively working on libgii (0.8) and libggi (2.0). Please understand that i would very much like to be more involved and that only (partly massive ;-) real world probs do keep me from working from time to time. But i'll always be back (except for the last time then)! For better readability, i'll close my intro here and continue the next mail with details. Thank you for all the efforts you put into GGI to make it a real Fun. Greetings, martin My mail adress is in the header (as most spammers know meanwhile), ma at debian org is the official maintainer and my homepage URL is http://eisbox.debox.de, sorry it's a framing redirector pointing to where the latest debs can be found: deb-src http://home.t-online.de/home/eislink/debian unstable main
