Subject: O: tcp4u -- tcp4u portable networking API

Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 23:25:32 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The old maintainer of tcp4u, Brian Russo <wolfie@debian.org>, is
apparently not active anymore.  This package is thus being orphaned now.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this bug
from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new version
with your name in the Maintainer: field and a

   * New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)

in the changelog so this bug is closed.

Description: The tcp4u portable networking API -- runtime package
 Tcp4u provides portable APIs which allow an easy use of the following
 IETF protocols : UDP, TCP, Telnet, HTTP 1.0 and SMTP.
 .
 The Tcp4u functions have been compiled and tested under the following
 operating system: Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, Solaris (SunOS
 version 5), Sun OS version 4, HP-UX, Dec OSF1, AIX and Linux.
 .
 This package provides the runtime shared library. The libtcp4u-dev
 package provides the header files, and the static library.


[ Justification: Brian has not been around for quite a while.  His last
message (from July) gives someone else permission to adopt one of his
packages (see #151708).  I guess it's best for Debian to orphan all of
is packages.  Wolfie, sorry I have to do this to you, and I hope you
are still out there, alive and kicking! ]

Subject: Bug#174120: fixed

Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 14:21:03 -0500

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

libtcp4u-dev |    3.3.1-8 | alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
 libtcp4u3 |    3.3.1-8 | alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
     tcp4u |    3.3.1-8 | source

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 174120@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.
