Greetings.
You are receiving this email because you have submitted a bug on the Debian package of lprngtool and I'm the current maintainer of it.
I have been seeking a new maintainer for the lprngtool package for 4 months without anyone coming forward. I've found upstream to be next to dead. He occassionally responds to my emails in a non-timely fashion. Upstream hasn't made a release in years.
I don't have the resources to maintain a Debian-specific fork of lprngtool, and I think there are other alternatives that make doing this unnecessary.
I'd appreciate feedback from you as to how you would cope if lprngtool was completely removed from the upcoming Sarge release. One potential starting point is foomatic. Another is switching to CUPS.
Your feedback will help ensure that I don't make a decision that adversely affects you.
Hello Andrew, as far as I am concerned, you can remove the package, but
I don't use it anyway.
My opinion is that removing lprngtool will avoid causing people to loose
time trying to make it listen to reason, and they will switch to a
better tool instead.
Cheers,
