Subject: O: 3dwm -- libzorn development files

Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 01:18:12 +1000

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of 3dwm, Maurizio Boriani <baux@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package
now.  If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: A 3Dwm apps
 The 3Dwm clock application (tdwm-clock) is the first real application
 that is even remotely useful. It makes use of the 3Dwm Nobel API,
 including the new solid modeling support, to create a
 three-dimensional analog clock displaying the current time.

MD5sum: 4d2ad350d92b0500d723e15d92b18abb
Description: A 3Dwm client
 This is a very simple 3Dwm client that connects to the
 exported GeometryKit in the server, creates a Geometry, loads a 3D
 file from the local system (in this case a simple model of an office,
 which also happens to be Rob's room), and passes it to the 3Dwm
 server. The 3Dwm server will happily render any geometry that is
 created, so running geoclient several times will add more geometries
 to the graphical output. Please note that you may need to zoom out
 (using the 'X' key) to see graphical output.
 The geoclient is able to open native .raw files as well as standard
 3ds files (using MeshIO). In other words, you may experiment by
 loading other files than the supplied office model to the 3Dwm server.

Subject: judging for removal of 3dwm

Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2005 22:35:23 +0100

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

Usage statistic:   popcon vote: 0-8, last bug report: 124 days ago

NMUs:              3 NMUs in a row, last NMU more than a year ago

Bugs:              Total: 7, Important:2

Upstream:          Last news entry on
                   http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~elm/projects/3dwm/ is 2 years old.
	           Offical upstream homepage http://www.3dwm.org is dead 
		   (times out).
		   New upstream version available (see #217664), but no
		   longer available for download (see above).

Dependency:        No reverse dependencies to packages outside of the 3dwm
                   source.

Time since O:      Orphaned more than a year ago

Distributions:     0.3.1-8 is part of stable, 0.3.1-11.3 in testing and unstable

Usefullness:       As nothing in Debian uses the 3D Windowing System
                   provided by 3dwm this does not seem to be very
		   usefull. 

Conclusion:        Remove package from Debian

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 206870@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.
