Niels,
Thanks for getting back to me. The trouble with the packages is they are
a bit old. Parcellite is on 1.0.1, and I think I've made things a little
easier for any debian maintainter since I've fixed a few build problems
regarding debian packages. I've recently removed all the bogus
dependencies (in svn trunk), since parcellite only needs GTK+.
I'd be glad to be a co-maintainer. In order to do that I just have to
ask? Not sure the protocol here. Thanks for everyone's patience.
Andrew, would you like for me to become a co-maintainer? I wonder if it
would be useful to maintain key files like control, changelog copyright
(or copying) under SVN for parcellite? I think I've killed most of
those dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on xxx could be avoided if
xxx were not uselessly linked against it in the trunk revision. I've
built an amd64 and a i386 deb package, so perhaps as a start (if you are
willing) you could take a look at those and see what I did wrong/right?
Parcellite only needs to link against Gtk+, so that long list of
dependencies can go away.
Kind Regards,
Doug Springer

Niels,
I took over from the original developer, and parcellite is no longer
inactive.
Hey,
That sounds good.
There is a fork, it's called clipit, but there were lots of changes
occurring, and I thought that parcellite (after a few bugs were
addressed) was just fine as it was. I don't mind simple features, but
once it looks like klipper, what's the point?
Yes, clipit was the fork I was thinking of. As pabs mentioned in a
separate email, clipit is currently its own package but there was talk
about replacing parcellite with it.
My intent it to primarily bug fix/build fix, add bare essentials from
time to time, and keep parcellite just as it is - but I've sent Andrew
several emails and no response yet. I figured if he doesn't want to
maintain it, I'll take over that part as well.
How do I go about doing that?
As far as I can tell, the maintainer of parcellite is definitely active,
since he uploaded a version of parcellite 5 days ago[1]. I have CC'ed
Andrew, whom I hope will reply within a couple of days.
If you want an active part in maintaining parcellite, your best option
right is to offer to become a co-maintainership.

Hi,
I started developing parcellite because I didn't want it to disappear
from the repositories.
I've been developing parcellite for several months now and have a new
release that's been tested and packaged to i386 and amd64. I'd like to
see this make it into main stream.
Where do I go from here? I'll can take over the maintenance if I need
to.
Thanks,
Doug Springer
Hey,
I remember parcellite from a while back; as I recall I managed to reach
the maintainer via his other email: andrewsometh...@ubuntu.com
That being said; the last I heard was that parcellite was being
replaced by a fork, since parcellite was inactive. Unfortunately the
name of the fork eludes me at the time.
