Unreachable maintainer: Greg Hookey
Hello, Greg Hookey is in the NM queue, but has been put on hold by his AM (madkiss), for reasons I am unaware of, but which I understand included being uncontactable. He has not been contactable for well over two months (I've been trying for about three). I have not also seen any signs of activity outside of Debian since at least August (using Google and Google Groups). I have also attempted to contact him through people it appears he is/was associated with (bagofholding.com) without success (no replies). Greg is the maintainer of libpqxx (libpqxx0, libpqxx-dev), which was sponsored by Ryan Murray. libpqxx has been NMUed by myself twice, once in early September, and again a few weeks ago. These NMUs didn't fix RC bugs, but without a contactable maintainer, there was no one to respond to any bugs against libpqxx at all. The only currently open (non-fixed) bug is an FTBFS on m68k, which looks like an m68k PostgreSQL issue (looks like it's built OK now). I've fixed three bugs in the NMUs. I pinged Ryan a few weeks ago to see if he knew anything about Greg's status, but I didn't get a reply back yet. I would like to request that libpqxx be orphaned. I am making a lot of use of libpqxx at the moment (hence my interest in it), so I would be willing to adopt the package unless there are any objections against that. Regards, Roger I'm not subscribed to -qa, so I'd appreciate being CC'd on any replies. Thanks. -- Roger Leigh Printing on GNU/Linux? http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ GPG Public Key: 0x25BFB848.

Why not parse that one part at a time, accounting for prefixes as well, then? :) (Maybe it's done now? I saw some commits, but didn't look into them...) -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
