Packages up for adoption
Hi, due to lack of time, I intend to give a couple of packages up for adoption: * remmina (#676894) * libvncserver (#676895) The latter is a (build-)dependency of the first, so you may want to have a look at both if you are interested in maintaining them.

Bart, you commented in bug #110849 about not being comfortable with removing binary packages, but this one has been re-added, without AFAICS any real user demand. and several other chains of packages also look like we should consider removing them once the above-mentioned packages are gone. Maybe someone can look into this. Hmm, I've looked over the packages mentioned above, and none of the others seem to be removable. I think someone's been sneaking new GNOME1 packages into the archive when I wasn't looking. :) libcapplet is closest, only python-gnome-1.2 as a reverse-dep after the other libs we can remove are removed. python-gnome-1.2 is QA-maintained as well.

gnome 1 packages up for adoption
I have been maintaining the following gnome-1 support packages: bonobo gal0.x gnome-libs gnome-print gtkhtml gwrapguile imlib libcapplet libglade oaf I have been doing so because gnucash (which I maintain) was the last major gnome-1 package, and the gnome maintainers (quite reasonably) did not want to maintain gnome-1 anymore. However, there are a significant number of packages based on gnome-1 which are still in Debian, quite a few of which still see active maintenance. So I believe that it would be premature to remove the gnome-1 libraries from Debian. Indeed, I am not sure I agree with them being in oldlibs, given the existence of this many packages which use them, especially since it is not some kind of trivial matter in general to update a program to use gnome-2. But that's not my determination to make. However, I will not be willing to maintain these support packages once the gnome-2 gnucash migrates into testing. Other than normal get-into-testing transition issues, the blocker for that is the upstream release of gnucash 2.0, which is expected in the next several weeks. At that point, I will be orphaning all these packages. I stress, however, that it would not be appropriate to remove the packages without communication with all the folks who are currently depending upon them. If someone wants to undertake that task, I welcome them to it! To repeat, in executive summary: * There are many gnome-1 support packages, which I maintain, which are still widely used in Debian; * I am filing an RFA for these packages today; * Once gnucash 2.0 migrates into testing, I will be orphaning these packages; * It is not appropriate to delete these packages without speaking to the maintainers who are currently depending on them.

TI calcs related packages up for adoption
Hi, I am putting the following (source) packages up for adoption: - tilp: TI calculator - PC communication program for X - tiemu: Texas Instruments calculators emulator - skinedit: skin editor for TiEmu - tidev-modules: Sources for drivers for Texas Instruments calculators link cables And their support libraries, too: - libtifiles0: Texas Instruments calculators file formats library - libticables3: support library for Texas Instruments link cables - libticalcs4: provides functions to communicate with TI calculators I kind of lost interest in the TiLP project, thus I'm no longer the best maintainer for these packages. Note that TiLP II and TiEmu III are out upstream; it is a new generation, and they need newer versions of the libraries. If you're interested in adopting the above packages, you should probably package the new versions, then ask for removal of tilp, tiemu, and libti*.

fvwm{,2,-common} packages up for adoption
Hi, I am (in theory) still maintaining the following packages: fvwm fvwm2 fvwm-common xloadimage xcal In practice, I haven't uploaded new versions of these for many months. Both xcal and xloadimage have few outstanding bugs. fvwm2 has many outstanding bugs, some of which are in reality either feature requests or disagreements with particular configuration details. With the recent move of fvwm2 development into CVS, the release rate has increased greatly (however, it's also likely the stability has decreased somewhat). This is one of the reasons I haven't made any 2.1.x releases of fvwm2. But its mainly due to lack of time. Therefore, I'd like to give away my fvwm packages, ie fvwm, fvwm2 and fvwm-common. I'm happy keeping xloadimage and xcal, but I think it would be much better to have someone else look after the fvwm stuff. Volunteers should mail me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and we can organise an orderly handover. Oh, and it would help greatly if the crap on debian-private were to be kept to the minimum - political rants can happen quite happily in the pubic for all to see.

I know that the fvwm2 official TODO list has 'official themes support'
in it but it would be really great if the Debian style hooks setup could
be adapted to use the themes(with minimal pain) on fvwm.themes.org.
Or at least some documentation on how to use them until it is
'officially' added the the upstream source.
Currently one is required cut and past to various *.hook files as well
as reset several defaults.
