Hey,
We've noticed that the Debian owl package seems to have developed some
bugs that are keeping it out of Lenny right now. And since kretch
hasn't touched it in years, it seems unlikely that fixes will make it
upstream.
We're planning on uploading a barnowl package to Debian, hopefully
within the next few days. Would you be interested in letting us
replace owl with a transitional package that installs barnowl instead?
I believe Sam mentioned you indicated to him you would be OK with
this, but he's not around at the moment and I do not have a record of
it, so I'm asking you again.
Thanks,
- Nelson Elhage
