Current sid is still officially mine; ranty did the rewrite in experimental, and the plan was for him to take over once version 2 was ready for sid. But he wrote to me in January saying he wouldn't have any time for a while and it might be a good idea to look for someone with more time. In the meantime I implemented some more features and made some uploads, and I had already swapped Uploaders & Maintainer (in CVS but not yet uploaded) until ranty came back. I have enough work with openoffice, so I'd be glad if Data (or anyone else) was interested in helping out with apt-proxy. It's very close to going into sid now; it just needs a fix for the max_versions implementation. I was deeply shocked when I read about his death. We talked a lot via IRC and email, although I hadn't had the opportunity to meet him in person. I think it would be appropriate to dedicate version 2 to him. Chris
