There is no need to orphan the package because I'll continue in
maintaining it. To be honest arb is a little bit hard to maintain
because quite weak release management of upstream. They claimed
to get a new stable version out for last November but they continue
with inoffcial not version numbered releases. Some weeks ago I
go their word that the latest tarball they released would be
"stable enough for a Debian release in unstable" - which would
be my next candidate for an upload. I just need some time to
rework the package.
It's my fault that I missed to tag the current Debian package
with a FTBFS bug since there was some change in the motif libraries
that caused a problem. I hope this is solved with the newer version.
If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please
just close this bug, preferably in an upload also fixing the other
issues.
In principle I really regard your QA work as very valuable but I
hope to get something better out in a reasonable time frame.
Despite the low popcon value the package is used by some users
I know and thus keeping it in Debian makes some sense.
Kind regards and thanks for your QA work
Andreas.
