Subject: RFA: neutrino - GNOME shell for managing your Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox

Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 11:53:09 -0700

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer use neutrino. This package would be better off with a
maintainer that uses it regularly. It currently has no bugs.

Cheers,
Shaun

John Bovey <jdb@kent.ac.uk>, an experienced programmer, has expressed
interest in becoming a Debian developer and maintaining libnjb.

Manuel García <mannyto@gmail.com> has expressed interest in
maintaining gnomad2. He is also a NM, and could probably use a hand
with gnomad2.

There have been no claims on neutrino. It's yours, if you want it.

There's an old version (0.1.6) of kionjb in experimental. My hope was
that it would eventually make it into the upstream KDE
kdemultimedia-kio-plugins package, but that requires some co-operation
with the KDE folks. If you'd like to package the newer kionjb (0.2.4)
for unstable, it's all yours. Upload the new package and file a bug
against ftp.debian.org to remove my package from experimental.

Cheers,
Shaun

Subject: Removing neutrino?

severity 316772 serious
thanks

Hi,

neutrino has been orphaned for a very long time now and I am evaluating
whether a request for removal should be finally filed.

You are receiving this mail because:
 - your name showed up somewhere in the history of the package
 - I think that you might be interested for some reason
 - or you maintain a related/similar package

Are you interested in adopting this package? Do you know potential adopters?
If so, please could you forward them this mail, Ccing the BTS and me?

If there is no action from anyone, I'll request the removal of this package
from Debian after a month.

Thank you,

Removing neutrino is fine by me. The package gnomad2 is a suitable alternative.

Cheers,
Shaun

Subject: Bug#316772: fixed

Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:25:11 +0000

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

  neutrino |    0.8.4-7 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, 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 316772@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.
