Takers for two packages?
Jordi Mallach
I'd be glad if someone else took over these two packages (for now):
wmifs:
Description: WindowMaker dock app for monitoring network traffic
wmifs is a dockable applet for X11 that can monitor all your network
interfaces. It's designed for WindowMaker's Dock and AfterStep's Wharf,
but it's not dependent on these window managers and should work with any
other.
.
WMiFS stands for "Window Maker InterFace Statistics".
It is orphaned upstream, but it needs little care. I haven't done an
upload in over a year, because there was no need for one.
Has one open bug, which should probably be closed.
There are plenty of dockapps that do this same thing, but this one is
simple and has the "classic" look of WindowMaker applets.
If there are no takers, I will orphan this package.
tintin++:
Description: Classic text-based MUD client
Tintin++ is telnet client specialized to play MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons).
It has scripting support, tab-completion, internal chat, and takes
advantage of the GNU readline library.
.
You can find a complete set of commands and features in the Tintin++ manual,
in /usr/share/doc/tintin++.
I packaged tintin++ as some people showed some interest in it, and I
managed to get upstream to GPL the app. It's one of the classic MUD
clients, was very popular 5 or 6 years ago at my university at least :)
Upstream development is mostly stale, but the upstream authors are nice.
Again, nearly no maintenance. Has an open bug, which should be quite
easy to fix.
I shouldn't be maintaining this package at all, as I barely know how to
use the client (and maintain gnome-mud, anyway :)
Please Cc: me any reply. I barely skim debian-devel these days.

Reading between the lines, it seems that it's a good thing for a new maintainer
to adopt some packages to get into the system and start getting experience.
Since I'm not an official maintainer, I'm not sure what the protocol is in this
case; maybe just keep you name on it until I ask someone to sponsor it for me?
(This should happen in the first couple of weeks of March).
Thanks for your time. Please cc: me directly in any replies, as I'm going out
of town for a couple of days and I'm going to unsubscribe to debian-devel while
I'm gone.

Well, I don't know. You'll probably have little to do with it (unless
you want to enhance it or something), but if you use WindowMaker (or
some window manager that uses dockapps), I guess it's yours :)

Yeah. When your sponsor is able to do your first upload, just put your
name in the Maintainer field and that's it.
