Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-10-17
Severity: normal
I'm the current maintainer and also the upstream author for this package. The
package currently doesn't work with Python 2.2 and the automated Debian
builder just filed a bug indicating that it can't build the package.
I'm sorry to say it, but I think this package ought to simply be removed.
There seem to be very few or perhaps no users, and no other package depends on
it.
I'm filing this RFA because it looks like the correct first step to removal.
If someone would actually like to take this package and run with it, that's be
great.
Mike
The package description is:
SUBTERFUGUE is a framework for observing and playing with the reality of
software; it's a foundation for building tools to do tracing, sandboxing, and
many other things. You could think of it as "strace meets expect."

Yay, I have uploaded an updated version that appears to build using the
Python 2.2 idiom, and runs under 2.2.
Mike -- if you read this, thanks for the awesome package! It is really
interesting, and I have a couple of ideas for putting things in it taken
from fuzz(1), another program manipulation tool that I maintain.
As for taking over upstream maintenance... I guess I can do that but I
really don't know Python that well, nor really C at all. I can read
it... blah. I think I'd rather just send you patches and stuff (I'll
start with the 2.2 building thing) at least for the time being, if
that's ok.
cheers,
-thomas
