GraphViz

The version of GraphViz in Fink is pretty old (1.16 when the
latest is
2.12). Would someone be willing to update it? I'd like to
offer to help,
but I'm really short on time these days. (Actually, I
suspect that a lack
of time on the part of the maintainer is why it has been
languishing, but
we wouldn't want to look bad in comparison to DarwinPorts,
now would we?)

Have you contacted the maintainer?  We try not to tread on
people's
toes, so we generally give maintainers about a week to
respond to a
package update before we go ahead and commit.

If the maintainer does in fact indicate no further interest
in
maintaining the package, that's anoather matter.

Fair enough. I will send Thomas Kotzian an email and report
back if/when he
contacts me or in a week or so if he does not.

Well, I haven't heard from Thomas Kotzian, so whenever you
get around to it
I think it's appropriate for you to go ahead with it.
