Subject: queue: unusable, dead upstream, please remove

Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 22:37:48 -0500

Package: queue
Severity: grave

This package is essentially unusable, as documented in several other bugs.
Its upstream is dead.  There is a new GNU queue being written upstream
at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-queue/, but they've scrapped the
old code base completely, and it's not ready for use yet.

The package was not present in sarge and is not in etch.

If you, the maintainer, agree that it should be removed from unstable,
please reassign this bug to the virtual package 'ftp.debian.org' and retitle
it 'RM: queue: RoM, RoQA, dead upstream'.

If not, fix the bugs and upload a new copy of the package please.  :-)

reassign 341663 ftp.debian.org
retitle 341663 RM: queue (RoQA, dead upstream, unusable)
severity 341663 normal
thanks

No response from the "maintainer" to the grave bug;
message to debian-qa got the reply that it should definitely
be removed.  No reverse depends.  Maintainer appears to be MIA,
reported to mia@qa.debian.org.

C++ package which never underwent the c102 transition, let alone
the c2 transition.

Please remove from unstable.

I concur. Queue is unmaintainable. Sorry.

Subject: Bug#341663: fixed

Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 06:05:50 -0800

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

     queue |   1.30.1-6 | 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was superseded by another one.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 341663@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.
