--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : chessdb Version : x.y.z Upstream Author : Name <someb...@example.org> * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Programming Lang: (C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, etc.) Description : Excellent chess database and analysis software. GPL successor to dead scid package (Include the long description here.) Nearly one year ago a volunteer packaged this software and uploaded it in search of a sponsor. The software is excellent, the package works and it is really disappointing that it did not get sponsored. See bug 408118 If there are chess-loving DDs who read this, would one of them please sponsor the package? It is one of the best chess database/analysis programs, built on the dead package scid but with major extensions and improvements. The current situation (no package in Debian) seems like an easy win for the Debian community. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash

--- Begin Message ---I'm closing this RFP since there is no point in packaging a clone scid that is dead upstream since 2007 - while scid itself is still actively maintained. Feel free to reopen this bug if I missed anything. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
