Hi, unfortunately, the maintainer of musixtex, Anthony Fok, doesn't have the time to work on it; I didn't get a reply for 4 weeks now. I incorporated the new upstream version, fixed the remaining open bugs (except #122204, which is unreproducible) in musixtex and moved it from non-free to main due to the "new" GPL licensing policy upstream. I also contacted the upstream author and repackaged the examples to adequately supplement the now GPL'ed package.

The maintainer didn't prepare a new upload for more than 3 years now but once authorized Andreas Tille to NMU: > Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 09:16:03 +0800 > From: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Tille, Andreas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: MusixTex NMU > > > ... > > Yes, it would be wonderful if you could prepare an NMU to update the > package and fix the bugs. Unfortunately, Andreas also doesn't have the time now and delegated me to this list. Thanks in advance! (btw: It's not that I want to "hijack" this package. I'm already maintaining enough ones. Andreas just suggested the lists and I didn't get any reply at debian-devel. So generally: What about packages officially maintained, but practically not?) bye, Roland -- Roland Stigge
