Reading all those maintainer-related issues, I can't help wondering - whatever happened to Jeremiah's ITP project? It looked like (back then we had reporting and transparency) it was nearly complete over two years ago, but now even the prototype is gone. Could it be finished up and deployed?

I have release today a new version of IPython (with separated documentation in 'ipython-doc') for Maemo 4 & 5. I also released some months ago IPython 0.10.2 for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan.

My signature shows that I am an active Maemo 4 & 5 & 6 developer, with Python softwares for mathematical & scientific use. I have current and future projects which depend on IPython (SymPy, etc).

Today I have contacted the current maintainer, Bruno Araujo. But in November I have contacted him without any answer about IPython updates, etc. So I am not sure I will be answered any time soon.

I think we can help. We are in the process of updating package promotion procedures and orphaned packages can be part of that. It seems like you have been quite patient already, but it might take a little while more. thanks for explaining your situation

Jeremiah is not active anymore. My sense is that we don't have the resources, and perhaps as strong a need, for that project anymore.

@SD69:

Now I uploaded new version of kernel-power (v50) to extras autobuilder for compiling. Autobuilder compiled it without problems, see https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fre....28-10power50/

But packages was not uploaded to extras-devel repository and are not visible in package interface, see:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../kernel-power/

Old problem was that packages was in repository but interface does not see it (I couldnt promove it).

Now problem is that packages are NOT in repository, so users cannot update it...

This is not normal situation!!! Can you help me?

Please can someone 'in power' clarify if maemo.org allows linking to warez/piracy sites? In the Terms of Use/Legal pages it's quite clear that it's not allowed, yet we have posts like this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1179244 which I have reported due to it being a blantant link to warez, but nothing has been done.

This is not an isolated incident.

Is Niels still ignoring you? Don't take it personally. He's ignoring the testing squad and package promotion effort too. Is there even something like "I'm busy now, I'll get to it next week"?

I give you credit for the effort you keep making. Personally, I think it may be time we all move to Plan B...

financial support (from NOKIA) stopping on 31-dec-2012...

EDIT: the currant contract for financing the web site is ending on 31-dec-2012; it is (as far as i'm aware of) not stated yet whether it will not be renewed after that...

Soooo....there is still a possibility that they may support it? How long are these contracts?
