I don't know, I'm kind of fond of it, and I hadn't seen freebirth was in stable yet. Not only that, but freebirth might be a bit overpowered if all you want is a metronome. I've been meaning to Debianize some of my other favorite packages (that aren't already in the distro) for a while now, I've just been lazy. So, how do I go about becoming a new maintainer? I'm assuming I should start with the "Debian Maintainers Guide", but I'd like to get the ball rolling before gtick disappears. I suppose if it isn't being maintained upstream, I should probably grab the last snapshot of it and look into maintaining it as well. -- The more I use other operating systems, the more I like Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ http://www.gnu.org/ http://www.linux.org/
