Subject: O - Easy Boot loader with a Boot-Menu

Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 20:01:16 -0400

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I orphan this package because I am leaving debian. 

Also, there is no development (no active upstream dev) at all on chos.

Thanks,

Benoit

Yes, I believe so.  FTP-team, please remove the chos source package from
unstable.  Total of 4 users listed in popcon; orphaned for over a year;
doesn't build under gcc-4.0.  Package is a bootloader, and we seem to
have a couple of other working bootloaders in the archive that can fill
this need.  The description compares it to lilo, but grub is probably
more featureful at this point.

Thanks,

Subject: Bug#263868: fixed

Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 13:47:05 -0700

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

      chos |     0.85-4 | source, i386

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was superseded by another one.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 263868@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.
