Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-05-14 Severity: normal Due to lack of interest in the gtimer package, I am requesting an adopter. The application is fairly useful, but could use some improvements, the biggest one being a preference dialog box to set up a preferred HTML browser instead of netscape or mozilla. I don't forsee this enhancement being on the top of my list of things to do.
The upstream author has expressed that he intends to update the software periodically from code contributions via patches. I've forwarded most of our patches, as hackish or ugly as they might be, and most of the problem reports to him. He has largely ignored these patches in the past and has not given me much feedback until recently. He may have decided to give more attention to the project, so give him the benefit of the doubt. A new version was released in March that fixed a few things. I've used the opportunity to rewrite the package using the DBS and separated out the individual patches. This software is pretty much in a maintenance mode. I don't expect to see many upstream changes, but you may be surprised. So, if you use this package or are interested in improving it, go ahead and adopt. If not, I'm satisfied with maintaining it for the time being. Who knows. Maybe I'll get an itch to improve this thing one day in the distant future. The package description is: Program to track how your time is spent. This useful piece of software allows multiple clocks to run simultaneously, allows for text annotations, and provides useful and portable reports (HTML and TXT formats.) -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux skuld 2.4.20-k7 #1 Sun Mar 30 23:08:26 CST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
