The current maintainer of zed, Muhammad Hussain Yusuf

Hi.

I currently inspect the Debian wnpp bug list and search for old ITAs
(Intent to Adopt) that are mistitled.

You have expressed in bug report #188181 [0] the intent to adopt
the package "zed". The last comment to this from you is dated from
18-07-2003. If you still intent to adopt this package, please consider sending a
short status summary regarding your ITA to the bug report. This would make
it easier to track down obsoleted ITAs.

Hi.

I've send you a mail on December, 21th 2003 to remind you that you have still
an ITA (Intend To Adopt) open for package zed (see [0]).

Since you haven't replied for at least two weeks now I assume that you are
no longer interested in this package and retitled it back to O: (or RFA:).
Of course you can always ITA the package again if noone other steps forward
faster than you.

What is that status of of this adoption?

If you still intent to adopt this package, please consider sending a
short status summary regarding your ITA to the bug report. This would
make it easier to track down obsoleted ITAs.

Hello,

My ITA for zed is still valid. 

I have prepared a revised version of the package [1]available at
mentors.debian.net. The package is waiting to be uploaded by a DD
since I'm not able to do it myself.

See also my [1]RFS for this package.

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

Hi there Matti,

I included your revision 1.0.5-10 in the QA upload I just made to the 
archives. I am very sorry (I am serious) that I would not sponsor you, 
but I am not keen on X dependent packages. If you find one, feel free 
to put yourself into the maintainer field again and upload a new 
revision.

As I got your revision from mentors anyway when using apt-get source I 
did use your change to get the package lintian-clean. Many thanks for 
this.

zed (1.0.5-11) unstable; urgency=low

  * QA upload.
  * Applied fix to the C/C++ token parser. (Thanks to Tom Marshall)
    (Closes: #241342)
  * Fixed FTBFS on amd64/gcc-4.0. (Thanks to Andreas Jochens)
    (Closes: #297285)

 -- Philipp Kern <pkern@debian.org>  Tue, 15 Mar 2005 15:43:23 +0000

zed (1.0.5-10) unstable; urgency=low

It's orphaned for over two years now and both potential adopter
have given up after some time. It is dead upstream and has no
significant user base according to popcon.
