Subject: O: soundgrab -- play a raw audio file and interactively select and save pieces

Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2005 15:02:32 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of soundgrab, 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: play a raw audio file and interactively select and save pieces
 From the perl department of the Maximegalon museum of diseased
 imaginings.
 .
 soundgrab is a script that lets you interactively select and save
 your favorite parts of a raw audio file to other files via a command
 line interface.  It does this by providing you with the basic
 commands you would expect from an audio cassette deck (play, stop,
 ff, rw) plus some additions: mark, which places a marker at the
 current position of the head, and export, which saves the audio data
 between the mark and the current head position to a file you specify
 in wav, cdr (cd mastering), raw data, flac, or ogg format.

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

Subject: Your old ITA of soundgrab

Hi.

I currently inspect the Debian wnpp bug list and search for old ITAs
(Intent to Adopt) that are mistitled.

You have expressed in bug report #288216 [0] the intent to adopt
the package "soundgrab". The last comment to this from you is dated from
02-02-2005, which is more than three months ago. Do you still intent to adopt 
this package? If not, please retitle the bug, substituting "O:" for "ITA:".

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

Thanks,

Matej

I haven't heard back from you, so I'm assuming you're no longer
interested.  If you are, feel free to retitle the bug again.

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#288216: fixed

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 04:35:28 -0800

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

 soundgrab |    0.9.0-2 | 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 288216@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.
