I was responsible back in 2009 for the first upload, but then Timo
Jyrinki and Gilles Filippini (both Bcc:ed) took care of it.  Also
because I left the pkg-fso team back in 2012:

  


And FWIW I was quite surprised this package was still in Debian, since I
know no other devices than the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner using it (on
Debian).

I fully support its removal, also because of the two other serious bugs:

- 
  FTBFS with xserver 1.19

- 
  xf86-video-glamo: Invalid maintainer address 
pkg-fso-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

The source package does not build for "new" Xorg from 2016,
has been removed from testing and was not part of last stable
release. Upstream seems to be dead since 2011:

https://github.com/openmoko/xf86-video-glamo

FWIW I never worked on xf86-video-glamo myself, but I'm one of
the last persons who worked on the FSO packages. I Cc'd the
persons involved with glamo, so that they can intervene.
