Subject: O: eterm -- Enlightened Terminal Emulator

Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:26:13 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the eterm package.

The package description is:
 A terminal emulator in the spirit of xterm or rxvt, eterm uses an
 Enlightenment style config file, as well as themes.  The Imlib2 graphics
 engine is used to render images. This version supports background images,
 pixmapped scrollbars, pseudo-transparency, and POSIX threads.

I don't have time nor interest in it anymore. This package does not play well
with UTF-8. Furthermore, upstream seems to not take care of it anymore. Last
time I talked to him was 2 years ago, and no actions taken. 

I can help new maintainer interested in Eterm to upload it (in case s/he doesn't
have upload rights). 

Thanks,

Hi!

Since there are many other terminal emulators in debian archive, and
eterm does not really support UTF8 and popcon, during last years, is
getting low...

if none intending to adopt this package, I would like to ask for removal...

Anyone ?

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of eterm back from ITA
(Intent to Adopt) to O (Orphaned), because this bug hasn't seen any activity
during the last 6 months.

If you are still interested in adopting eterm, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 620507 ITA: eterm -- Enlightened Terminal Emulator
 owner 620507 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITA for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
adopting the package. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this
ITA from time to time, by mailing <620507@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi,

I like eterm and I am still using it. Also, I would like to be more involved with Debian so I think it is a good idea to
adopt this package to learn how the package system is working before to help in bigger packages.
I will review the bugs related to eterm and I will try to have a new version of the package during this Summer before the freeze.

Cheers,

Jose

Hi,

I am still working in this package. I have checked the last source code 
and it has not changed since the last time the package has been build.
In my system the package build without problems.
I am checking the bugs reported to Eterm, specially the older ones to 
know whether the bug is still present in the last version.
I am trying to make the package lintian clean and reading about Debian 
Policy to follow the last version.

As the freezing date is very close and the source code is the same I 
think it is not worth to upload a new version just to change the 
maintainer field and
the aesthetic changes I am doing up to now.  I think it is better to try 
to fix more important bugs and to have more time to test the changes, so 
I will try to send
a new version of this package when Jessie is released.


Cheers,
Jose

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in adopting eterm. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITA bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from adopting the package.

This is an automatic email to change the status of eterm from ITA
(Intent to Adopt) to O (Orphaned), as this bug hasn't seen any activity
during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in adopting eterm, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 620507 ITA: eterm -- Enlightened Terminal Emulator
 owner 620507 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITA from time to
time, by mailing <620507@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to
adopt this package, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
