Description: Operate X-10 electrical power control modules.
 X-10 modules are devices that plug into an electrical outlet
 and allow you to remotely control the power to a lamp or an appliance that
 is plugged into them. There are also X-10 modules that install in place of
 wall switches to control lights, and there's one that can be used to set
 back a thermostat.
 .
 This program commands up to 256 X-10 modules via a
 CP-290 serial-interface controller plugged into any serial port of your
 system. You can use it to automate your home!
 It's also commonly used to provide control over computers and other devices
 that might need to be powered up or down via a timed command or remote
 control. The CP-290 controller stores 128 clock-driven events that it will
 execute when your computer is turned off, so you can even program your
 computer to turn itself on at a particular time.
 .
 You can buy the modules and manual controllers in Radio Shack stores,
 but the CP-290 serial-interface controller used to command them using your
 Debian system is slightly harder to find. Instructions on where to order
 one are included in the documentation of this package.

I would be happy to volunteer to maintain this package, but I'd need a
sponsor, as I'm not (yet) an official debian developer.

I have read the buglists and find no bugs that I'm incapable of fixing,
and I use this package personally at home, so I'd rather see it
maintained than drop from the distribution.

Hi Paul

Are you still interested in x10? If so, please change the bug title by
sending a mail to control@bugs.debian.org with content:

package wnpp
retitle 268912 ITA x10 -- Operate X-10 electrical power control modules.

You also might consider adopting x10-automate.

Note that I'm not interested in maintaining the package:

If you're not interested anymore, I'll change the Maintainer-field of
these packages to Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>.

Cheers

Luk

I'm having trouble finding package sponsors for the packages I filed an
ITP for. Do you have any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to mention at least that you are looking for a
sponsor in the bug reports together with an URL where a sponsor can find
the source packages.

Cheers

Luk

PS: Maybe I can have a look, what packages do you have ITA/P-ed?

Sure, for starters I have:
http://www.telcodata.us/debian/unstable/
heyu2 (#270091), libgeo-coordinates-vandh-perl, and
libnet-up-notify-perl.
I don't know if I filed an ITP on the perl ones, but if you like em,
I'll ensure there's an ITP, and I'll edit the package's changelog to
reflect it.

If I can find sponsors for these, I'll wrap up the other ITPs and stuff
I have opened and get them out too, just to get everything cleaned up.

Hi,

The x10 package has been orphaned for a very long time now (in
fact, it's one of the oldest orphaned packages in Debian). I'm going
through such packages, to see if they can be safely removed from Debian,
since noone seems to care about them.

You are receiving this mail because your name showed up somewhere in the
history of the package, or because I think that you might be interested
for some reason, or because you maintain a related/similar package.  Are
you interested in adopting this package? Do you know potential adopters?
If so, could you forward them this mail, Ccing the BTS and me?

With no action from anyone, I'll request the removal of this package
from Debian after a month.

Thank you,

Subject: Bug#268912: fixed

Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 22:46:31 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

       x10 |    1.06-16 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 268912@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
