Dear mentors, I have updated the package and would friendly ask if somebody would sponsor the package. I have added some message where it shows that its 'legal' to upload my package. I hope somebody will sponsor it.
After a half year the old maintainer has handed over the package to me. Now follows the final message where the maintainer says he has no problem with it. > On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 10:23 PM, Christoph Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi Peter, >> >> it's been a while since I was contacting you about your packages in >> February 2006, but unfortunately, the packages appeared again on the >> QA radar, mostly because Willem is has been trying to contact you to >> get the scid package updated. > > You're right.
