Nobody has done it, that's the main reason. The RFP/ITP log says it contains patent-encumbered code; one would have to remove it before uploading to Debian. You may want to do it yourself; see http://www.debian.org/devel/join/ If you just want to stay up-to-date on what happens with it, you can subscribe to the RFP "bug"; send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" . -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
