Does someone know if Davide Puricelli (evo at debian.org) is
MIA?

Apparently, the last upload by him was on 2007-06-10 [1]. I've
tried to communicate him last year, but didn't succeed.

I've mostly interested in the `chicken' package. The last
version packaged for Debian is 2.5, and it seems that there're
enough Chicken extensions [2] that aren't compatible with that
version of Chicken anymore.

Hi Ivan,

I'm not MIA (I still read -devel and I follow the project life), but
you're right, I'm not really active in the packages field.

I'm planning to update chicken in upcoming days, luckily it's not a huge
work, while I just asked Bart Martens to help me to comaintain xchat.

About your private email: I didn't reply because I had never received it!

Regards,

Glad to hear it!

Well, Chicken now contains the debian/ directory, currently used
to facilitate the creation of unofficial `.deb's. Perhaps you
shold review it.

I've suggested to link Chicken against the host version of PCRE
instead of the one supplied with Chicken itself [1]. Felix has
recently committed a patch [2] which simplifies the change.
Could this change be adopted for the official Debian package?

There's a small thread starting at [3] which points a few
problems with the current Debian packaging. Could you please
review it?

I hope to make some patches (namely, `srcdir' support and
`CHICKEN_LIBRARY_PATH' support) soon, which may be of a
particular interest to the Debian users.

Strange enough. Hope you'll receive this one.

I can confirm that Davide is not MIA, and that Davide replies to e-mails
within reasonable time. Davide and I agreed today to comaintain xchat.
