Comment 6 for bug 146324

Could someone please explain what the status of freewrl
for Debian is?

Looking at the cryptic emails in the mailbox for this bug
it seems as if there was an aborted attempt by Stan to
creat a package and in the last week or so the upstream author
of freewrl John A. Stewart has stepped in to take ownership.

Does this please the upload of a freewrl package is imminent?
I hope so! I've been developing an based application (slowly) that
generate X3D and VRML for the last few years. It hurt when
Debian dropped freewrl. (I wasn't in a position to become
maintainer.)

Thanks in advance!
