Subject: RM: mime-support -- ROM; Transition over

Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2023 14:53:39 +0900

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
X-Debbugs-Cc: mime-support@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mime-support

Dear FTP team,

please remove mime-support (binary and source) from trixie.

The transition from mime-support to media-types and mailcap was started
in 2020.  There are only a handful of packages (to the best of my
knowledge: s3fs, ytree, netsurf, pygopherd) that still depend or
recommend it, and for each of them except pygopherd (sorry) a bug was
open more than a year ago.

Removing media-types will close the transition.  It will also break the
packages above, but the fix is trivial and I can NMU if needed.

Have a nice day,

Charles

Dear Scott,

I just saw your "moreinfo" tag.

I forgot to mention in the bug that I have a wiki page tracking final
stage of the transition:

https://wiki.debian.org/mime-support

Please let me know if you need more information or if you would prefer
me to NMU the unresponsive packages before you remove mime-support.

Have a nice day,

The NMUs should come first.

Dear Scott, I finished the NMUs.  Can you remove mime-support ?

Have a nice day,

Dear Scott and Pino,

python3-pil depends on mime-support | python3-pil.imagetk, and
python3-pil.imagetk does not depend on mime-support, thus python3-pil is
installable without mime-support, isn't it?

Could you please remove mime-support?  I would like to finish this
transition, to not have to think about it anymore, and focus on the
future.

If you prefer I NMU pillow instead, please let me know.

Have a nice day,

Charles

Shall I understand your silence as a "no?"

Control: tag -1 - moreinfo

Dear Scott,

the transition is over; to the best of my knowledge, no package depends
exclusively on mime-support, and in all alternatives it comes second
after media-types.

Please remove mime-support.

Have a nice day,

Charles

Control: tags -1 + moreinfo

Hi Charles,

there are reverse dependencies that need to be taken care of:

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
courier: mime-support
jool: mime-support
node-mime-types: mime-support

In case they matter, this needs to be addressed first. Please remove the 
moreinfo tag once that is done.

Thanks Thorsten for the heads-up,

I had forgotten about reverse build-depends…

I just submitted bugs against courier and jool.  Can I ask you to fix
node-mime-types?  You are Uploader of it…

Looking at the source code, it seems that node-mime-types does not need
mime-support at all.  But if it does please build depend on media-types
instead.

Have a nice day,

Charles

Hi Thorsten,

happy new year!

each packages above has been fixed by you, me, or their maintainer.

I am looking forward seeing the end of the mime-support transition !

Have a nice day,

Subject: Bug#1049459: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2024 17:30:15 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

mime-support |       3.66 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; Transition over
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1049459@bugs.debian.org.
