Can you please let this bug know on what timescale you plan to migrate gridengine to libmotif-dev? Gridengine IS now the only package holding back the removal of lesstif2.

(See my comments somewhere in the tracker on the last NMU.) However, part of the reason for re-doing the packaging is to provide the scripts which actually allow it to be configured in secure mode. There don't appear to be any Debian developers to maintain it, but I've basically done the work. Reading this response, some other remarks in the BTS and some private communication leads me to believe that currently there are no Debian Developers or Debian Maintainers actively enough involved to properly take care of gridengine. I am still happy to sponsor an upload to Debian. Last time, there were some reservations by the ftp-masters, but I guess those have been addressed?

Hi, Just a very short response to a sentence I saw in your e-mail. On 06-11-13 18:01, Dave Love wrote: There are some serious problems with the current packaging, including security issues, apart from library dependencies. It would be great if the Debian bug tracker and the Debian security team were aware of these security issues, so that they could/would be addressed, even if the maintainers can't take care of it (for whatever reason).

Normally, this would have been a rather trivial change which has been done in Ubuntu already [UBUNTU]. However, in Debian it is blocked by bug 701446 [FTBFS]. Luckily that bug points to a patch, great. Then I noticed the other serious bug 709852 [POSTINST] and as it is simple I could fix that too. Furthermore I noticed the request for help [HELP]. My current version built fine on stable and unstable (I think) when I last tried (against openmotif). It just requires me to make another effort to get the result uploaded, and I'm afraid I've been lacking time/enthusiasm. I'd have to look up where the official Debian repo is, but my current version of the packaging to merge in is at http://arc.liv.ac.uk/repos/darcs/gridengine.debian/ (with a .git sub-directory). Actually, it _would_ be current if I pushed changes for the latest SGE release. I'll do so when I get a chance. Uploading help might be useful, thanks. I'll try to find some time to look at it again.
