[This is a mail to a Debian bug report.  If you are not affiliated with
 Debian but somehow involved into engauge-digitizer we would appreciate
 any clarification about the different forks.]

Hi Stuart,

I perfectly agree that it makes sense to maintain this package in the
Debian Science team.  I actually took the freedom to create a repository
there[1] and granted Thomas owner permissions to have full access to the
repository.

I confirm that there are lots of forks of this project around and
they seem to have in common that all have switched of issues.  So my
plan to open an issue for clarification about those forks failed.

Available forks: 

 1. https://github.com/SerifeGitHub/engauge6
    Mark Mitchell did some commits there in 2015

 2. https://github.com/sj/engauge-digitizer-copy
    "Copy" not fork; last commit in 2018
    --> https://github.com/sj/engauge-digitizer-copy/issues/1

 3. https://github.com/TomDittrich1/engauge-digitizer
    Fork from 1. 1747 commits ahead

    Regarding Qt6 this commit sounds promising:
      
https://github.com/akhuettel/engauge-digitizer/commit/a03d6fadaa5b4e9c33a35e19e4d8d38dba6611fa
    Opened issue
      https://github.com/akhuettel/engauge-digitizer/issues/5
    I guess this should be the packaging target.

 7. Wrote issue to "Qt6 test"
    https://github.com/hoehnp/engauge_test_qt6/issues/1


I intend to base the packaging in Debian Science team on 6.

Any comments are welcome
    Andreas.
