[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Intending to adopt a gnustep app

[Gürkan Sengün]

Hello Federico

Please feel free to take over them. I had prepared a newer version
of gnustep-dl2 long time ago, but never found a sponsor for it:

http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/gnustep-dl2/ 	   (gnustep-dl2_0.12.0-1.dsc)

and I also tried to build it against the latest gnustep tarball versions
but it failed:

http://gnu.ethz.ch/debian/gnustep-dl2/gnustep-dl2_0.12.0-1_i386.build

Yours,
Guerkan

> Note that gnustep-dl2 is more complex and more important, too.  It has
> to be split into 2 binary packages -- dbmodeller.app and gnustep-dl2.
> The first should contain the DBModeller app, the second the tools and
> the libEO* libraries shipped in /usr/lib/gnustep-dl2, and not in
> /usr/lib (although they're intended to be public libraries, nothing in
> GNUstep uses them) [1].  Also, gorm.app should be split to ship its
> public libraries in separate packages, properly versioned, and
> gnustep-dl2 should build-depend on the corresponding libgorm*-dev
> package(s).  You can file an important bug against gorm.app and let it
> block your ITP.
