What the hell? It's taken this long to contact the actual maintainer of playmidi (me)? I have no interest in debian, but I am still actively developing playmidi. Perhaps people should consider actually MAILING THE MAINTAINER when they make patches so that I (or other maintainers of other project

RFS: playmidi

2003-04-13 Thread Darren Salt
I'm looking for a sponsor for playmidi. I've fixed some of the reported bugs and applied an extra patch or two of my own. The diff and dsc files aren't available for download but I'll send them to anybody who's interested in sponsorship. I've also considered splitting the package (ref. bug 28471)
