Subject: O: imwheel -- Program to support the "wheel" on most new mice

Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 00:50:58 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the imwheel package.

I am no longer using it or properly able to take care of it, mainly
because I don't use XFree 3.x.x anymore. I still find this package
important/useful for people running old or slow hardware, that's why I'm
orphaning it instead of removing it from the archive. It has a RC bug
that can posibly be downgraded. It should not be hard to fix, but I
don't have the hardware.

If anyone is interested, please drop me a line. If nobody adopts imwheel
in a month or so, I will request it's removal from the archive.

The package description is:
 Most new mice, including the Microsoft IntelliMouse, and the Logitech
 MouseMan+, Wheel Mouse, and others, now have a "wheel" button in the
 middle of them. This wheel button acts both as a standard button (by
 pressing it), and a wheel, which under MS Windows may be used for
 scrolling windows around.

 This program supports the wheel scrolling operation by one of two
 means: 
 1. Some newer X servers support mapping the wheel to buttons 4 and 5,
    which imwheel then captures and supports,
 2. Using a patched version of gpm, the normal mouse events are passed
    on to the X server through /dev/gpmdata (gpm's standard "repeater"
    mode), and in addition wheel events are sent to another pipe,
    /dev/gpmwheel. imwheel picks up these events, and translates them.
    This is not currently supported or needed in Debian.

 imwheel (1.0.0pre10-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New maintainer. (Closes: #249533)
   * New upstream release:
     + No longer segfaults when using "(null)". (Closes: #232353)
     + Patch to prevent "no ~/.imwheelrc" warning no longer required.

       require some users to reconfigure, since apps which had
       worked with "(null)" now need their specific window class.

   * Scripts to run IMWheel with X automatically are now in place but disabled
