While investigating this - knowing nothing about docbook myself -, I discovered that docbook.org recommends using pandoc instead of the openjade/xmlto/... zoo. Maybe other maintainers might find this useful. I'm not aware of this recommendation and I couldn't find it. The most straightforward change would be to change to docbook-xsl. But that would be an upstream decision.
Bug#948230: RFA: source-highlight -- convert source code to syntax highlighted document
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm looking for a new maintainer. There is a new upstream release to be packaged and some technical packaging cleanup work to be done. Everything works well, it's a useful package, it just needs a bit of attention.
Bug#948229: RFA: cmark -- CommonMark parsing and rendering program
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm looking for a new maintainer. The first job would be to update to the new upstream release. The shared library does not have a track record of compatibility, so updating it might require some care. Perhaps there is a way to collaborate better with the cmark-gfm package.
Bug#947175: O: sgml-spell-checker -- spell checker for SGML documents
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am the upstream maintainer of this package, but I don't really maintain it any longer. It's really more of a private tool at this point. If no one is interested in this package, I will ask for its removal.

Bug#945988: O: libintl-perl -- Uniforum message translations system compatible i18n library
Package: wnpp Severity: normal The package has a sizeable installation count and an active upstream. It needs an active maintainer to keep it up to date with upstream and in line with various policies. Perhaps the Debian Perl Group should take it.
Bug#945394: O: delimmatch -- Perl module to match delimited substrings
Package: wnpp Severity: normal This package is abandoned upstream. I don't think this package was ever in general use. It was only used in the process of doing upstream releases of the docbook-dsssl package (note: not a build dependency in Debian). If docbook-dsssl is removed (see #945145), so should this. That said, there is nothing wrong with it, but I imagine in the Perl world there are countless other modules that have the same functionality.
Bug#945146: O: docbook-dsssl-doc -- documentation for the DocBook DSSSL stylesheets
Package: wnpp Severity: normal This package belongs together with docbook-dsssl, about which see #945145.
Bug#945145: O: docbook-dsssl -- modular DocBook DSSSL stylesheets, for print and HTML
Package: wnpp Severity: normal This package is abandoned upstream. I'm not sure if anyone or anything is still using this. There are close relationships with other similarly obsolescent packages such as docbook (the SGML variant) and openjade and some reverse dependencies with what are essentially wrapper scripts. It might be worth making a concerted effort removing all of these from Debian. Otherwise this package can stay on life support without doing much harm.

Bug#897138: O: anacron -- cron-like program that doesn't go by time
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the anacron package. The package description is: Anacron (like "anac(h)ronistic") is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly, and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine uptime permits. . This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages are executed each day. The package is no longer maintained upstream, and it doesn't interact well with systemd. It might need a complete rethink or replacement. (The co-maintainer has never been active, but they are welcome to take over the package like everyone else.)

Bug#471801: for would-be maintainers/adopters
Since I keep getting inquiries about taking this package over, with no one actually ending up doing anything, let me summarize what I have told people so far: * How can you help? -- Triage bugs, submit patches, respond to user inquiries, and so on. The usual stuff. I don't have a secret to-do list. Use the BTS. * The packaging is in the collab-maint subversion repository. If you have something to commit, please do so. If you are not sure, attach your patch to a bug or check with me first. * In recent times, the packaging has been very stable. The main work is integrating new upstream releases and the occasional CVE. Note that historically many upstream releases of egroupware have been buggy and have often been replaced by a fixup release a week later. :-/ So it is wise to exercise some patience before jumping on a new release. * Consequently, this is probably not a good package for some new contributor to adapt just to be able to play around with packaging. The *packaging* work consists mainly of downloading a new tarball, building a package, and uploading it. The *maintenance* work consists of triaging bugs and interacting with users and upstream maintainers. * So, if you want to maintain this package, start by going through the bug list, create patches, commit patches. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Two notes on this for the record: The software is called Slony-I. There will likely be a follow-up project called Slony-II that can do multimaster replication. So it would be wise to call the Debian package slony1 or something similar that includes the number. I believe the yet to be released 1.1 series of Slony-I will support building without a PostgreSQL source tree. (At least some people have been in contact with me for advice regarding this.) This will likely also require PostgreSQL 8.0. So it's probably best to wait a little until this package can be built cleanly.

Why shouldn't Debian users have convenient access to winex? Some Debian users probably contributed to the software that winex was originally based on, so it's only their right, as part of the whole free software deal, that they can access derived works as they see fit.
