I would like to see it maintained at least collectively, as
we have the gpsca 
rewrite coming up, that will take a team effort to prepare
imho.

There are currently three different packaging efforts
existing, we need to 
decide on the way forward. Any ideas on how to proceed?

There is an existing alioth project, with SVN + mailing
list. Should we build 
upon that effort and lobby Otavio with hard work?

Thanks, Kel.

Yep sorry still not done. But we should have a look to what
is available
at pkg-spca5xx on alioth too.
Kel is from pkg-spca5xx team. Maybe he could tell us why
nobody uploads
spcaview tools ?

I can only say that I've tried to get it reviewed and
uploaded some time ago 
[1,2], and my requests were unsuccessful. I gave up on it
since then.

The time that I spotted your effort to get spcaview into
debian, I immediately 
contacted you in regards to sharing our already existing
effort[3].

HTH

Thanks, Kel.
