Hi Lucas, ... Notice that i am unable to upload quark packages, since i was kicked out of debian like so much dirt, as you well know. The fact that other people have done NMUs as well as the fact that there are no RC bug on the package seems to indeicate that there should be no need to remove it. Of the 3 important bugs : #455803 : contains a patch, and awaits a debian maintainer willing to upload it. #200288 : is normal upstream behaviour. #501168 : i have no clue on this one, maybe one should look at the dependencies. A quick browse at them doesn't show anything triggering this behaviour directly. As for the usefullness, i find it more usable than any of the other possible alternatives, since it does what it needs to do well, with minimal desktop cluttering. As for orphaning it, well, as said, i called for replacer-maintainer when you guys kicked me out, and you can believe that i am not particularly interested in doing anything more, until debian takes a more reasonable stance with regard to me and how debian messed up this whole affair back then.
