Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging fwts. 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 fwts from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

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

 retitle 748783 ITP: fwts -- firmware test suite PC firmware. It is intended to identify BIOS and ACPI errors and if appropriate it will try to explain the errors and give advice to help workaround or fix firmware bugs.  It is primarily intended to be a Linux-centric firmware troubleshooting tool.

 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <748783@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,

I thought I would have time to package this but clearly I do not.
Moving this back to RFP in case someone is interested.
