Image: As already mentioned in some comments to various blog posts here, I will not invest more work into the current repositories. I invite anyone with interest in continuing the work to contact me. I will also write up a short howto guide on what I generally did and how I worked with this amount of packages. I feel sad about leaving this behind, but also relieved from the amount of work, not to speak of the insults (“You are a Nazi” etc) I often get from the Debian side. I also feel sorry for all of you who have relied on these packages for long time, have given valuable feedback and helpful comments.


Summary: As explained here many times before [1, 2, 3], people who contribute nothing (or very little, a minuscule/negligible amount) are driving out some of the most active and most important contributors; this leaves users in a tough place (maintainership waning)
