I would have done so several weeks ago if not for bug 701446 [1].
Currently gridengine FTBFS. Do you agree that the proposed changes fix
the problem. I am afraid that I am not in the position to properly test
the package nor do I understand the changes properly. I you feel it is
better that way, I will update the package, I will try to follow up on
issues that arise from it, but I am not in the position to really
support it.

Why is none of the maintainers putting in the effort to get Dave's fork
into Debian and get a gridengine with lots of upstream issues solved?
