Subject: O: python-slang

Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2005 00:28:53 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I'm orphaning this because I don't have time/interest to fix
it to rebuild it with slang2. The only package depending on it
is woody (outliner/todo editor) which I also will orphan because
I don't use it any more.

IMO, we should just remove this package from the archive.

python-slang and woody have been uninstallable since July due to the
slang1->libslang1 transition.  Do you think it's time to remove them,
or should we do a QA upload?

Thanks,

Please remove python-slang and woody.

  * Orphaned for 130 days.
  * 6 bugs total.
  * Both have been uninstallable in sid since July due to the transition
    from slang1 to libslang1, and no one reported this as a bug.
  * woody is the only reverse dependency of python-slang.
  * Last upstream release five years ago:
    <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/woody/>
  * The previous maintainer concurs:
    <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=314994;msg=17>
  * popcon: 86 installations for python-slang and 66 for woody, 15 votes
    for both.

Thanks,

Matej

Subject: Bug#314994: fixed

Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 09:27:57 -0800

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

python-slang |    0.2.0-8 | source, alpha, 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was superseded by another one.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 314994@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.
