Cool! I note also that the -ruby packages have all been picked up by the Debian/Ruby Extras team or others, and so have ssss, revolution. That reduces the complete list of unadopted packages from David to: * dlume -- address book program * fpm -- GNOME 1 password manager program * gxmms -- GNOME panel controls for xmms/beep media player * kipina -- athlete's training log program * rxvt -- very popular x terminal emulator -- the adopter might also want to grab the orphaned rxvt-beta package * sendemail -- does what it says. -- Small and written in perl -- maybe the Debian Perl Group would like it? * wallpaper-tray -- GNOME wallpaper changer program, some nasty bugs ---- Meanwhile, I don't suppose I could convince the Debian Perl Group to pick up some of the *other* orphaned perl libraries?..... ;-) The ones I've noticed on a quick run through the orphaned package list are: libapache-authznetldap-perl libbusiness-ups-perl libcdk-perl libcgi-xml-perl libcgi-xmlapplication-perl libcgi-xmlform-perl libclass-prototyped-perl libconfhelper-perl libconvert-ber-perl libcorba-orbit-perl libdb-file-lock-perl libdbix-xml-rdb-perl libdbix-xmlmessage-perl libextutils-f77-perl libfile-counterfile-perl liblingua-en-numbers-ordinate-perl liblingua-ispell-perl libmail-listdetector-perl libmldbm-sync-perl libnet-ftpserver-perl libnewt-perl libpalm-perl libperlmenu-perl libpod-pom-perl libproc-process-perl libqt-perl libtangram-perl libtest-cmd-perl libtie-array-sorted-perl libtie-cache-perl libvcs-perl libxml-sablot-perl perlftlib These perl modules constitute more than 10% of the orphaned packages. (I suspect some of them may be obsolete or folded into the main Perl distribution or other perl modules. Perhaps at least these could be identified and removal bugs filed.) > > gregor > -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bush admitted to violating FISA and said he was proud of it.
