Hi, I found the mmm package for Debian is quite obsolete and not usable anymore(it depends on several old packages like libc5). I guess that's because you could not re-build it with the newer version of Objective Caml. I contacted one of the original authors(Jun P. Furuse) and he was kind enough to release 0.80beta, which can be compiled with Objective Caml 2.02. But he said they had lost interest in this project, so further improvement should not be expected. Anyway, MMM is still one of the few open-sourced(I don't understand why the INRIA license is non-free) Web browsers which can handle Japanese characters correctly, so I hope it remains a part of Debian.
Now I'd like to ask you a question; are you still interested in maintaining the mmm(and ocamltk) package? If not, would you hand it over to me? You seem not to get in touch with the upstream(if not, sorry). Thanks to Joey and other guys, Debian-QA seems to revive, so if you leave mmm alone, it might be the first one to be slaughterd ;-) Unfortunately I'm not an official maintainer at present though I've already sent my application to new-maintainers (but they does not respond at all...). So if you are willing to continue your duty, that's great. For the present, I'll send a bug report to BTS. BTW, I don't read debian-devel anymore(my mailbox has been flooded...). I would appreciate if you send me a reply directly. Regards, MH -- Masayuki Hatta The University of Tokyo [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
