Subject: kimberlite: neglected and unused package, should this be removed?

Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 16:53:43 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: kimberlite
Version: 1.1.0-3.3
Severity: serious

Hi,

The kimberlite package seems to be neglected:
* last maintainer upload more than 4 years ago
* 3 NMUs to fix RC-bugs have been required since this upload
* new upstream release available, with a wishlist bugs filled in 2003
* none of the open bugs have been answered

However, this package seems now to be dead upstream and the popcon stats
are very low, so it should probably be removed from the archive.

After 3 weeks without answer from the maintainer, I will reassign this
bug to ftp.debian.org.

Cheers,

First contact MIA, then possibly orphaning, then possibly removal. Just
3 weeks between first contact and removal is really too trigger-happy
IMHO. I'll send the maintainer a ping.

Subject: Bug#348195: fixed

Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:14:22 -0700

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

kimberlite |    1.1.0-4 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
kimberlite-doc |    1.1.0-4 | 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was superseded by another one.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 348195@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.
