ldesc: "A small utility to generate a self-extractable archive from a
directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those
have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. The archive will then
uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary
command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is
pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the
Windows world. Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity
self-validation (CRC and/or MD5 checksums)."

Jari,

If you want to take over mantainership of makeself, I have no
objections. According to its git log, there have been some minor improvements during 
this year.

P.S. keychain (also a simple shell script) is orphaned, and there's a
new version upstream, just in case you're interested.

Err... hang on.  This package is officially maintained by Jonathan C.
Allen.  I admit that we had no feedback from him since 2007, but it
doesn't hurt to ask.

Jonathan?  Are you still with us in some way?  You are still officially
maintainer of 5 packages, bsflite, keychain, naim, ncftp and tnef.
None of them has been update since 2007, though...

I'm sorry. Somehow, I had the idea of keychain being orphaned already.
I tried searching the mail archives, but I could only find
this thread from some months ago:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-03/msg00082.html

Again, I apologize. Completely unintended.

No worries.  I had completely forgotten the above thread.  Looks
like we can safely put the following packages into ORPHANED mode:

  apache-1.x
  bsflite
  ccdoc
  naim
  ncftp
  tnef

Jari, I uploaded your keychain package and made you maintainer now.

As for apache-1.x, I guess this should better go into OBSOLETE,
shouldn't it?

And then there's the "email" package, maintained by Ross Smith.

Ross, you replied on 2012-03-24, but then you never updated
the email package.  How are things going?


Thanks,
Corinna

IMO it should be removed, as it has been EOLed upstream and is no longer
receiving patches even for security vulnerabilities.
