files are actually 16-bit integers, which largely defeats any expected

benefit from the use of double.  Neither float nor double will produce

a convincing argument overall, though.

Subject: Re: Bug#925629: aghermann: ftbfs with GCC-9

Gentlemen,

This is the original author of aghermann. First of all, thanks for

take good care of it. My circumstances have changed quite a bit since

I did my last release -- an age ago. In professional capacity, in 2010

I have turned to Erlang and, since around 2014, my proficiency in C++

has been in steady decline. These days, even as I am looking at this

40k LOC of my own code with a faint sense of some grand achievement, I

find myself totally incapable of carrying on with it. Please consider

this as a letter of retirement.

The other day I wanted to cherry-pick Andreas's changes

(https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/aghermann/commit/3cf06970a18219a327fc79a3580d94959ffd7a9a)

into my repo, but it being a mix of useful gtk3 deprecations and a lot

more, along with massive move/rename, I gave up. But all of them were

good.

I am aware of at least one recent paper where the slow-wave sleep

model as used in aghermann is revived and applied in very much the

same way: https://dx.doi.org/10.1093%2Fsleep%2Fzsy079. (It comes from

the lab of Vlad Viazovsky, who happens to be my old acquaintance, even

though we don't keep in touch.) This has largely vindicated my effort,

and it is my hope it can make your maintainership of it in Debian

worth your time.

Again, thanks a lot, and cheers!

Andrei
