Comment 7 for bug 146324

John;

I hope to find (again) someone to build and distribute FreeWRL
on Debian and Ubuntu systems. Stan, the last person,
went and found a real job at a gaming company. Oh well!

I have sent a message to the FreeWRL mailing list, asking for
anyone who packages for Debian or Ubuntu to step forward;
hopefully someone will, which will take me off the hook for
more work.
