Subject: O: 9menu -- Creates X menus from the shell

Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:10:38 -0400

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The maintainer of 9menu Andrew Stribblehill <ads@debian.org> seems to no
longer be active and attempts to contact him have failed.  Therefore I
am orphaning this package now.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Thank you,

Given that we have dmenu in the dwm-tools which does exactly 
the same, can we just remove this package?

Kind regards
Nico

Just a short correction: Not dmenu could be a reason for dropping
9menu but its fork ratmenu could be.

dmenu works and looks differently. I use both dmenu and ratmenu and
they have completely different layout, different way of being called
and different "finger feel".

But due to being a fork, ratmenu works and looks like 9menu. It's also
commandline compatible and therefore a direct drop-in replacement. The
biggest (if not only relevant) difference is missing mouse support in
ratmenu by purpose. The remainder are AFAICS only different default
values for some options plus new features in ratmenu. (Please correct
me if I'm wrong here.)

So if someone insists on that, he should adopt 9menu or convince the
ratmenu authors/maintainers to include mouse support again. Everyone
else should be happy with ratmenu, too.

Hi.

I use 9menu daily and would miss it.  So I volunteer to adopt it.  But,
as I am no DD yet, I would need a sponsor.

I am postgraduate from National Institute of Technology Durgapur, India and
a FOSS evangelist.
Recently i had started a company with few of my friends YEINDIA (
www.yeindia.org).

We work on many projects like Automation softwares and Linux utilities and
in this summers we are
offering internship for students of different colleges and as one of our
internship projects i want to
continue development of this 9menu package as few students are very much
interested in that and want to take over its development as a maintainer of
it.

I want some guidance from you on this and want to know the procedure on
being its maintainer.

Regards.
