Hi Moritz and Boyuan, Thanks for getting in touch.
The latest release of Pmw is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmw/ I am no longer actively maintaining Pmw, although in December 2020 I did merge a number of changes (mainly for Python 3) into the latest release. I would be very grateful if you could do all you can to move the latest Pmw release into Debian. There is a copyright file here: /Pmw/Pmw_2_1/doc/copyright.html Do you need any more for the copyright? Note that my normal email has changed from gr...@iname.com to veganasg...@gmail.com. Thanks for your help.
