Hi Steve, If the package is orphaned, then I will consider to adopt it. So, if possible for you, no immediate removal please. If I adopt the package, then I intend to package a newer upstream release and see how the autobuilders deal with that, before studying the patches in the BTS. This approach has saved me some time before. :) Regards, Bart Martens
