Subject: Please remove pike7.2 from the unstable distribution

Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 18:52:15 +0100

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Please remove the pike7.2 source package along with all its binary packages 
from the Debian/unstable distribution. 

The reason for the request is that pike7.2 is legacy code, no longer 
depended upon by any other Debian packages (with the exception of roxen3 
whose removal request should follow soon) and there is little to no demand for 
that version of Pike in general. The current version of Pike is 7.6 with 7.8 
to follow in the near future.

The binary package names produced from the pike7.2 source are:

pike7.2
pike7.2-crypto
pike7.2-gdbm
pike7.2-gl
pike7.2-gtk
pike7.2-gz
pike7.2-image
pike7.2-mysql
pike7.2-odbc
pike7.2-pexts-admintools
pike7.2-pexts-bzip2
pike7.2-pexts-curses
pike7.2-pexts-geoip
pike7.2-pexts-mcrypt
pike7.2-pexts-mhash
pike7.2-pexts-newt
pike7.2-pexts-pcre
pike7.2-pg
pike7.2-sane

thank you,

marek

pexts (pike7.2-pexts-*) does depend on it too still though? What to do
with that?

I will repackage pexts after I can remove pike7.4 as well. This is awaiting
input from the steam maintainer about the possibility of upgrading steam to
work with pike7.6. After that pexts will lose some binary packages and the
rest will be renamed to a new scheme.

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was superseded by another one.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 348546@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.
