Subject: O: tcltutor -- tutor for Tcl/TK orphaned

Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2003 11:17:18 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Priority: normal

I have just uploaded and orphaned tcltutor. This package should be taken by
someone with more knowledge on Tcl/Tk than myself since many of the open
bugs are related issues.

Also, notice that this package seems to be almost dead upstream (it has not
moved from version 2b4 in quite some time). I believe it could be feasible
(if someone took the time of pestering upstream) to change its license and
move it from non-free to main. This is a very useful package (at least for
those that do not know Tcl/Tk).

Note that the bugs fixed in the program have not been submitted upstream
due to my lack of time, but they should be integrated there. Also, they
could be shown as how having it in Debian has made people test it and
submit bugs that eventually have been fixed. Oh, the wonders of (almost-)
free software :-) 


Regards

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino

Sounds nice, but nobody showed any interest in over 200 days.

Subject: Bug#183100: fixed

Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 11:58:55 -0400

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

  tcltutor |      2b4-5 | source, all

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was superseded by another one.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 183100@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.
