I'm packaging for fplan Debian. Is fplan still active?

[Stephen Birch]

Hi guys

I have begun the task of packaging fplan for Debian. Is this project
still alive?

I notice there is another rather nice flight planner out there which I
also plan to package.

Frankly FlyWay looks to be more advanced than fplan but I have a soft
sport for the venerable tool that helped during my flight training
many moons ago and Id hate to see it die.

There was talk on this list a month ago about possible development of
a GUI version of fplan. So it isn't completely dead, maybe. The
current version still works as good as it ever did, so I think it
makes sense to keep making packages for it. I created a package for
OS X, using the fink packaging system.

Thanks for point out FlyWay. I've started working on an OS X package for it.

Cool .. okay, I'll start on the package. Maybe it will make it into
Ubuntu as well :-)

Great! I think you will like the upstream developer ... nice guy.
