Unfortunately, we haven't heard from Dr. Volker Zell in quite some time,
and a number of his packages are in need of updates or rebuilds.  I have
marked them ORPHANED in the maintainer list.  ITAs welcome.

One of those orphaned packages, texi2html, should probably just be 
removed from the distro.  Development stopped in 2011, and the 
maintainers say that most users are better off switching to 
makeinfo/texi2any (part of the texinfo package).

I haven't had a chance to look at things in detail, but from a quick 
glance I'd be inclined to take gnuplot and db, also maybe (lib)lzo2.

I plan to adopt xpdf, but it will be a week or so before I can send an ITA.

Just FYI, I have a rebuild of db (for tcl-8.6) in my upload queue.
You're more than welcome to it afterwards though:

I use multitail so I can adopt it if the package is in good shape. I'll
take a look.

Maybe openldap.

Hi Andrew,
openldap-2.4.42 builds fine with the cygwin source packages
but it segfaults during test.

The slapd.1.log suggests the segfault is on the test client and not on 
the server.

Can you try to build just to double check that is not my
computer the problem ?

Regards
Marco

Sure, I will as soon as I have time.

I only use the openldap client, not the server. So if you use the server
too and are considering adopting the package, you should do that.

In reality I am not a user at all, but is it one on the
perl upgrade todo list

No problem to adopt it but we need to have it working

I'm in the midst of fixing up xfig / fig2dev and will issue another ITA
soon (hopefully).
