Package: axel Version: 2.4-1.1 Severity: normal Since I saw axel on http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/speed-your-downloads-axel
I started using it and made a maintenance upload to experimental while making existing patches mostly. No response from current maintainer(s). So this is a practical orphaned software. (Currently db.debian.org is down ) Before uploading another maintainance upload to unstable, I would like to get 2 things confirmed within 2 weeks. * Are you there maintaining debian package? * Are you there maintaining alioth project which seems to be the current upstream? If no response, I will ask alioth admin to add me there and make project status updated. README.Debian should describe this package situation. (Probably in wheezy+1, if no one is interested, drop this from archive if there is something much more popular than this with similar functionality.) I think if this is dead upstream, it should state so and recommend alternative such as aria2 which seems to have active upstream. For size, wget in busybox should be the smallest footprint. Any thoughts?
