But with a dead upstream and no import ability to get my KeePassX, I'll stick with KeePass (even though it uses KDE libraries). I would like to use Revelation, since it is more tied into Gnome.

I sent your comments to Jorge Castro (jorge(AT)ubuntudotcom), who work with Upstream projects on the Ubuntu Community Team.

I have had the same concerns about Upstream projects dying in a distribution.

And that's going to be a problem moving forward as it needs to be ported to using the new gvfs framework instead of the older gnomevfs stuff. If you really like it, you should talk to your distribution maintainer about helping revive the upstream effort... or start looking for a new application to use in its stead. Distribution maintainers of revelation, including myself, should get together and try to decide what to do about resurrecting upstream...or start thinking about removing this application from repository offerings. -jef revelation appears to essentially have a dead upstream.
