A preliminary repository is available via:

  git clone http://neualius.turmzimmer.net/~fw/debfoster.git

I've ported some of Debian's changes "upstream" and updated the
autotools framework.  I also plan to incorporate a few patches from
the BTS (some of them seem quite reasonable).

It's OK with me. I can still do the packaging, unless you want to take
that over as well.

We would like to do the packaging, too, but we would welcome you as a
member of the maintainer team.

Guus, Wessel,

We (Marc Haber, Andreas Barth, and I) would like to take over
debfoster development.  Is this okay with you?

There are two options: either take over upstream development, or
reassign this wishlist bug to aptitude.

Bug#366518: please keep debfoster, it is not completely replaced by aptitude

2006-05-09 Thread Marc Haber
Package: debfoster
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

the latest debfoster says it is deprecated, and its functionality is
present in aptitude.

Unfortunately, there are some things that aptitude cannot do at the
moment. I have some packages like strace, tcpdump and other
debugging/tracing tools marked in debfoster as "uninstall", which
causes debfoster to uninstall a package as soon as it is found.

This functionality is not in aptitude since a manually installed
package stays installed, and there is no "uninstall on sight"
functionality in aptitude.

Greetings
Marc
