Bug Description

This package has not had a new upstream release uploaded to Debian since 2001 (despite an active upstream) and is orphaned in Debian. It cannot be built with gcc 4.4, while the fix for this particular issue is relatively trivial, without a maintainer in Debian or Ubuntu it is probably time for this to go:

In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504846, the upstream developer said:

I just released version 0.8.1 of genparse which fixes this. It is
available from

https://sourceforge.net/projects/genparse

as usual. I'm only maintaining genparse on Sourceforge, not the Debian
package however. New genparse versions have been available since
Sept. 2006 but the Debian package has not been updated all the time.
So I would consider to mark the Debian package of genparse as unmaintained.

Best Regards,
Michael
