Bug#344175: RFP: screenie -- terminal screen-session handler



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

* Package name    : screenie
  Version         : 1.30.0
  Upstream Author : Marc O. Gloor <mgloor@fhzh.ch>
* URL             : http://freshmeat.net/projects/screenie/
* License         : (GPL)
  Description     : terminal screen-session handler

Screenie is a small and lightweight GNU screen(1) wrapper that is
designed to be a session handler that simplifies the process of
administrating detached jobs by providing an interactive menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional notes:

Some years ago, I wrote a simple screen(1) wrapper for my own that
simplifies the process of administrating detached jobs by providing 
an interactive menu. At the Linuxtag 2004 in Germany, someone asked 
me to share the script, so I decided to create a tarball, a debian 
package as well as a freshmeat.net entry. 

Additionally, rpmforge.net made the package available to Fedora and 
Redhat users, Gentoo and Suse did the same for their distributions.
Since that happended, I regularly receive mails that users like 
that package (0.8% ranking in 4 months at freshmeat.net).

As Debian user, I ask you if somebody is interested to maintain 
the package also for Debian? Please let me know how I have to change
my upstream package to become Debian compliant. 

Please also note that I do not intend to become a debian package 
maintainer (lack of time, ressources)
