Hi! When I started with Debian, I packaged several libraries which I am upstream for. Since I don't actively develop these libraries anymore[0], and they don't get much usage according to popcon, I'm considering filing removal requests against ftp.d.o against them. The libraries are:
* gql -- A C++ database interface in the spirit of JDBC, includes drivers for postgresql, mysql, sqlite and a command-line DB shell similiar to psql from PostgreSQL. Packages: libgql-0.5-1, libgql-0.5-dev, libgql-driver-0.5-pg, libgql-driver-0.5-mysql, libgql-driver-0.5-sqlite, libgql-0.5-script, gql-shell * yehia -- A C++ application framework, centered on dynamically loadable plugins. This is used by GQL for loading the database drivers. Packages: libyehia0.5-0, libyehia0.5-dev, libyehia0.5-script-gtk So, if you are interested in keeping these packages in Debian, please speak up now, and maybe offer adopting them ;). I will still act as upstream for bugfixes if needed, but there will be no active development. [0] Well, frankly, after hacking in Scheme for a while now, I abhor the monstrosity that is C++, and don't want to spend time doing this in my free time, since my current day job requiring C++ coding gives more than enough opportunity to enjoy that lovely pile of features that aims to make C a higher level language, but still doesn't add real expressiveness when compared to Scheme/CL. </rant mode="SCNR"> Regards, Rotty -- Andreas Rottmann | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/rotty | GnuPG Key: http://yi.org/rotty/gpg.asc Fingerprint | DFB4 4EB4 78A4 5EEE 6219 F228 F92F CFC5 01FD 5B62 v2sw7MYChw5pr5OFma7u7Lw2m5g/l7Di6e6t5BSb7en6g3/5HZa2Xs6MSr1/2p7 hackerkey.com Anonymous surfing?
