Subject: RM: rsplib -- RoQA; orphaned, out of date w/r/t upstream, very few users

Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 00:15:28 -0500

reassign 340940 ftp.debian.org
retitle 340940 RM: rsplib -- RoQA; orphaned, out of date w/r/t upstream, very few users
thanks

This is a prototype implementation of something for which a newer
major version was released upstream in September,
and upstream no longer supplies the old implementation.  Clearly
it goes out of date very quickly.  It is not appropriate for
Debian to confuse people by supplying obsolete versions.

It's orphaned, so nobody is going to bother to upload a new
version.  It's been orphaned since November 2005, so it looks like
nobody's going to adopt it either.  It also has only 2 popcon
installs, so essentially nobody's using it.

Subject: Bug#340940: fixed

Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 12:03:22 +0000

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

    rsplib |    1.0.0-6 | source
rsplib-dev |    1.0.0-6 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
   rsplib1 |    1.0.0-6 | 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was superseded by another one.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 340940@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.
