Subject: O: ssystem -- 3D solar system simulator

Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 11:51:36 -0600

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the ssystem package.  I'm trying to lighten my
load, and no longer need this low-resource/odd-hardware version
antecedent of Celestia personally.


The package description is:
 An OpenGL Solar System simulator which includes the sun, the nine
 planets, a few major satellites, and background stars.
 .
 This package has since been rewritten and repackaged as Celestia,
 but since that package has significantly higher hardware requirements
 than ssystem does, this package is being kept around.  Celestia
 has a better looking solar system, more options, and unlike ssystem,
 is actually still being worked on, so you probably only want to use
 this if you have older hardware that cannot run Celestia at a
 reasonable speed.

Subject: Bug#352709: fixed

Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:48:23 +0000

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

   ssystem |     1.6-17 | m68k
   ssystem |     1.6-18 | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, 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was superseded by another one.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 352709@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/352709

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
