Subject: O: generator -- Genesis emulator

Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 10:42:07 +0100

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-09-26
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the generator package.
The package description is:
 Generator is a portable Genesis/Megadrive emulator. It allows you to play
 most games designed for the Genesis/Megadrive consoles on your PC or
 workstation.

The debian package contains 2 big patches. One for big endian machines,
available from http://www.fischlustig.de/endianpolizei/

There's another patch for a port to Gtk+ 2.0:

http://www.hadess.net/files/patches/generator-gtk2.patch

Cheers

reassign 162407 ftp.debian.org
retitle 162407 Please remove generator
severity 162407 serious
thanks

According to Bug#197662, generator is non-distributable. Since it's also
orphaned, I'm requesting its removal. Severity 'serious' because of the
possible legal issues.

Subject: Bug#162407: fixed

Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:38:19 -0400

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

 generator |     0.34-1 | source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

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 (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never 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.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 162407@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
