Subject: O: rawrec -- Buffered raw audio recorder/player

Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2005 15:02:31 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of rawrec, Britton Leo Kerin <bkerin@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: Buffered raw audio recorder/player
 The rawrec/rawplay utilities provide a simple way to record or play
 back raw audio data.  Options exist to control the timing of the run,
 add silent guard time, jump into data files, set DSP parameters, and
 control buffer size and latency.  rawrec should be particularly useful
 for scripting applications that need to deal with raw audio data.
 .
 Compared to bplay, rawrec tries to do less (it only handles raw
 audio) and does it more correctly (all the options work right for raw
 audio.  I think :).
 .
 rawrec can work to or from standard io, so if you also get the sox
 program, you will be able to record and play a wide variety of sound
 formats.  You will need a mixer program, such as aumix.

Justification: No activity in 10 months, no response to pings

Do you still intend to adopt rawrec?  (This is just a ping, I'm not
interested in adopting it myself.)

Thanks,

I haven't heard back from you, so I assume you are no longer interested.

Thanks,

I think we should remove rawrec and soundgrab.

  * Both have been orphaned for 1 year and 69 days.
  * rawrec has 1 RC bug.  I'm unable to confirm it because it won't even
    start for me ("the sampling rate (-s) could not be set ...").
  * soundgrab uses rawrec under the hood, and isn't usable without it.
  * bplay seems to be a reasonable command-line alternative for rawrec.
    AFAICT, no command-line alternatives for soundgrab, but plenty of
    audio editors do the same thing.
  * The previous Debian maintainer, Britton Leo Kerin, is also upstream
    for both:
    <http://rawrec.sourceforge.net/>
    <http://soundgrab.sourceforge.net/>
  * popcon:
    - rawrec: 289 installations, 43 votes.
    - soundgrab: 37 installations, 10 votes.

Thanks,

Matej

With some of the orphaned multimedia packages it may be possible for 
debian-multimedia to co-maintain essential packages. However, I don't 
think these two come into that category. I'm Cc'ing to debian-multimedia 
just in case anyone feels these packages deserve a last minute reprieve. 
Better get in quick if so.

cheers,

Subject: Bug#288215: fixed

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 04:34:42 -0800

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

    rawrec |   0.9.98-3 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

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 288215@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.
