Its good to hear that this happens, the wnpp sometimes depresses me when

Try again, and then expand your search to other lists (perhaps the
python and gtk/gnome lists), you also might ask the chmlib/xchm
maintainer to sponsor the uploads.

I didn't know about Carlos' RFS until after I had done the packaging to
close those two RFPs. My latest packages are on mentors.debian.net, If
you want to check them out and grab them to maybe merge the changes with
your version Carlos.

Also, the reasons for people wanting gnochm on those bugs were that it
used wxWidgets 2.4 (and GTK1) at that time. The debian package now uses
wxWidgets 2.5 (and thus GTK2), so those RFP bugs can probly be
ignored/closed.

I'm going offline for a bit soon, so I won't be updating the packages
any more, I think Carlos' packages should go into debian anyway, I
didn't intend to send an RFS cause my life is a little unstable at the
moment. It certainly was a good learning experience though.
