Hi, Norbert, Mattia and Joerg, For the records, this summer (30/7/15) I also mailed Joerg about current xindy status, but got no reply. My message might have been unnoticed and I have been rather busy lately, so I did not retry. I asked Joerg about current xindy status and suggested him to move xindy git repo to collab-maint, so others can contribute better. I also reminded him about xindy still using dpatch and about the existence of newer upstream versions (up to 2.5.1). I also had been playing a bit with xindy dpatch->quilt migration and with upgrades to newer upstream versions (including a fix for a problem still unaddressed by upstream, http://sourceforge.net/p/xindy/bugs/57/). As a matter of fact I had then a fully migrated and upgraded package nearly ready waiting for Joerg reply. I would be very happy to help with this all this migration and upgrade if needed. I am aware that xindy main problem is current clisp status (not sure if because of clisp itself or because of libsigsegv2), but apart from fixing this FTBFS, kepping xindy up-to-date, even if only possible for some arches, would be a good thing. I have done some things with Emacs lisp, but never worked with clisp nor common-lisp (apart from xindy styles), so I do not intend to adopt xindy, at least as single maintainer, although I would not mind as a co-maintainer, as I use xindy regularly and wrote some of the initial spanish stuff. I could also help with the perl part if needed. Best regards, -- Agustin
