Subject: O: gtick -- GTK-based metronome

Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 22:45:43 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2003-01-29
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the gtick package.
The package description is:
 gtick is a small metronome app that uses the GTK widgets. It outputs to
 /dev/dsp and features a scale from 30 beats per minute to 250 BPM and 2/4,
 3/4, and 4/4 time.

Upstream is dead, the package contains some bugs, which makes it not
very useful, there are other packages (i.e. freebirth) which do the
task Metronome better.

I just uploaded the package with Maintainer QA.

I suggest to remove the package from the distribution if no one takes
it over in the next few weeks.

Cord

I don't know, I'm kind of fond of it, and I hadn't seen freebirth was in
stable yet.  Not only that, but freebirth might be a bit overpowered if
all you want is a metronome.

I've been meaning to Debianize some of my other favorite packages (that
aren't already in the distro) for a while now, I've just been lazy.  So,
how do I go about becoming a new maintainer?  I'm assuming I should
start with the "Debian Maintainers Guide", but I'd like to get the ball
rolling before gtick disappears.  I suppose if it isn't being maintained
upstream, I should probably grab the last snapshot of it and look into
maintaining it as well.

The new package is located at http://www.antcom.de/debian/ until my
sponsor uploads it into the archive. (I'm still waiting for DAM approval
in the NM process.)
