The maintainer of fte Zdenek Kabelac <kabi@debian.org> seems to no
longer be active.  Therefore I am orphaning this package now.

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

Thank you,

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of fte back from ITA
(Intent to Adopt) to O (Orphaned), because this bug hasn't seen any activity
during the last 6 months.

If you are still interested in adopting fte, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 525314 ITA: fte -- Text editor for programmers - base package
 owner 525314 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITA for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
adopting the package. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this
ITA from time to time, by mailing <525314@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi,

while preparing a QA upload of fte, I noticed that there exists a
maintained fork of fte named efte at

https://github.com/lanurmi/efte

You might want to switch upstream to it if you adopt the package.

Hi Axel,

It looks like efte is already packaged[1].

​I'm assuming that I should follow the procedure explained here[2] in order
to substitute fte with efte, am I right?

Hi again,

Samuel made me aware of the fact that efte is already packaged and
also orphaned: See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/efte and
https://bugs.debian.org/632998 -- so since fte and efte lived
alongside in Debian for quite a while, there might be bigger
differences.

An adopter of either package might want to consider adopting both --
or checking what the actual difference are and only continuing one of
them.
