Hi Thomas, |

Have you tried to contact upstream (Tim Daly) to see if being packaged in |
| 21 |
a distro is something they are interested in. |
| 22 |
I personally would last rite it and possibly revisit the situation every so |
| 23 |
often. If it doesn't even build I am not sure there is a point in keeping it |
| 24 |
in the tree. |
