severity grave
thanks

Etch will only ship 2.6 kernels, so this renders the package unusable.

Cheers,

retitle 234346 please remove affix-source, which has been obsoleted
reassign 234346 ftp.debian.org
severity 234346 wishlist
thanks

The maintainer does not have time to work on this. A new upstream
version fixing this problem is available (and has been since 2004),
but I refuse to update the package since I don't want to be upstream
for the package.

Therefore I suggest removing the package from Debian. If someone
actually cares, let them upload the new upstream version and start
anew.

Not really. I is 2.4 only and there will be no 2.4 kernels in etch.
So no point in orphaning it.

> want to be upstream for the package"?

No, upstream is alive and well. I meant to say that I don't want to
maintain the package. Upstream has released version 3.2 two years
ago. If you update the package to this version, it can stay in etch.

Please suggest that to the maintainer first then, for example by this
bug, and let the maintainer reassign to ftp.d.o if he agrees. Suggesting
!= immediately also requesting its removal of the ftp-team.

Subject: Bug#234346: fixed

Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 16:17:32 +0000

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

affix-common |    2.1.2-2 | all
affix-headers |    2.1.2-2 | all
affix-kernel |    2.1.2-2 | source
affix-source |    2.1.2-2 | 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was superseded by another one.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 234346@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.
