Hi,

It uses the DuckDuckGo instant answers API to give an instant answer on
the command line as a more human friendly version of the ddg command
which is machine-readable but contains more information.

popcon reports 7 old and 0 recent.

The ia script was added in a patch and never actually present upstream:

https://sources.debian.org/src/python-duckduckgo2/0.242+git20151019-1/debian/patches/0001-add-ia-script.patch/

I was using this as part of an IRC bot but I now just call Python directly.

The easiest solution here is probably that I drop that script. It was
never accepted upstream anyway, nor have there been any updates upstream
since 2015.

Thanks,
Iain.

The whole salsa thing is not something that I've been able to keep up
with. I have git repos locally and I've been moving things to salsa as
and when I do updates. You probably shouldn't trust what is on salsa
anyway unless we all start using signed commits and tags. The archive is
the only true record of packages.

I once looked at doing team maintenance on these packages but there was
enough extra policy regarding that team management that I did not have
the time to look at it. If you would like to adopt the package and move
it into the team then that's fine with me. I am also on the list of "low
nmu" maintainers. I am not interested in maintaining the package within
the team myself though.

Ok, I will close that in approx 15 minutes. (:

Thanks,
