I've written a list of pros and cons of removing pose from Debian. Basically:
PROS (removing pose):
1. Upstream does not update pose (abandoned software).
2. Hard to make it compile with GCC 3.3.
3. Noone appears to take care of it (after >1 month of being orphaned).
CONS (removing pose):
1. The only software in Debian to emulate PalmOS.
So, I think pose should be removed from Debian (and pose-skins should also be
removed).
Regards,
Juanma.
