Package: xcircuit Version: 3.8.78.dfsg-1+b2 Severity: important
The package 'xcircuit' appears to be unmaintained. The last upload by the listed Maintainer seems to have been done in 2008. After that it was for a long time maintained by the listed "Uploader", but he has retired from Debian. There is a 2-year old bug reported by the MIA team to remove him from the uploaders list (#843374), which remains unanswered. The newest upstream version is 3.10.10, while the newest stable version is "3.9.73" - both of them released less than a few months ago. The current Debian version, 3.8.78 is 3.5 years old (Feb 2015). Note that the watch file for the package is outdated (#909515), such that it is not straightforward to see that there are new upstream releases. I am maintaining several other packages from the same upstream developer (qflow, qrouter, magic, ...) in the Debian Electronics team. I intend to salvage this package by adopting it into the Electronics team. Best regards Ruben Undheim
