The current maintainer of python-pymetar, Uli Martens,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

The package description is:
 The pymetar Python interface provides full and easy to use access to the
 METAR reports available from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric
 Administration, http://www.noaa.gov).
 .
 METAR (METeorological Aviation Report) is the international standard code
 format for hourly surface weather observations.
 .
 This package consists of the Python library itself and a command line tool for
 end users.

Hey Nilesh,

thank you for orphaning that package. Looking at my "activity", this is
very much overdue. I'm sorry!

Taking over this specific package probably won't even take that much
time, as its upstream maintainer considers it feature-complete and
maintenance-only without current plans of updating it to more modern python.

As such, this package *might* even be a candidate for removal.

best regards,
  youam
