wmaker-data

[Jeremy Sowden]

Access to the upstream site for wmaker-data:

  http://www.rolamasao.org/wmaker-data/

has been spotty for some time.  Currently, the host-name doesn't
actually resolve.  In fact, the NS servers for the domain don't resolve
either:

  $ dig +trace www.rolamasao.org

The package has been maintained by the WM team since I salvaged it last
year from the previous maintainer, who is also the upstream.  I have a
copy of the upstream site that I grabbed when I first noticed that it
was intermittently unavailable:

  https://azazel.net/~azazel/wmaker-data/rolamasao.org/wmaker-data/

On the assumption that the upstream site is in fact defunct, I was
considering what to do.  I could host it myself, but my inclination
would be to put it up at windowmaker.org or dockapps.net.  I wanted to
get a second opinion before proposing it on wmaker-dev.  What do you
think?
