Subject: RFA: trophy -- A 2D car racing action game

Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 13:10:16 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the trophy package.

The package description is:
 Trophy is a single-player racing game for Linux. Even though the goal is
 basically to finish the laps as the first, Trophy is an action game which
 offers much more than just a race. Lots of extras enable "unusual" features
 for races such as shooting, putting mines and many others.

Trophy is a nice but limited game. Upstream is not working on this game
anymore, and there are a number of open bugs, mostly about memory leaks
and segmentation faults. These problems are becoming more and more
evident, I guess it is bit rot taking place. This package needs a
developer with C++ knowledge that wants to find the bugs in the source
code and keep the package in shape, despite the inactive upstream. If
noone wants to adopt this package, I will request for its removal from
Debian.

Subject: Bug#341102: fixed

Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:13:46 -0800

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

    trophy |    1.1.3-3 | source, m68k
    trophy | 1.1.3-3+b1 | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
trophy-data |    1.1.3-3 | 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was superseded by another one.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 341102@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.
