Hi,

I don't really have time to take this up anymore, but would be
happy to hand it over to someone else.

Thanks.

I could be interested, even though I have not a lot of experience in
packaging python libs.

Still, I may be able to help, for instance in the context of a packaging
team effort.

Do you have an archive or repository containing the last state of your
work ?

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging python-scrapelib. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of python-scrapelib back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 15 months.

If you are still interested in packaging python-scrapelib, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 657278 ITP: python-scrapelib -- library for scraping websites
 owner 657278 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <657278@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
