[Slackbuilds-users] Unmaintained builds - want any of these?

Hi!

Of all those slackbuilds I have installed:

development/snappy
libraries/ftgl
libraries/librsync
misc/linux_logo
network/urlgrabber
system/acpitool
system/rdiff-backup
system/whowatch

These two seem interesting to me:

games/abuse
games/smokinguns

People already claimed libraries/ftgl, misc/linux_logo and system/rdiff-backup 
(but I might take it).

I'll contact the maintainers of the rest and report back.
I'm willing to adopt most of them if needed.

Cheers,
