Subject: O: drsync -- wrapper for file synchronisation via rsync

Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 15:01:45 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I'm orphaning drsync, I'm no longer using it. Popcon tells me about 34
users.. I suggest you either move to rdiff-backup or dublicity, or use
plain rsync instead (I recommend rdiff-backup, so you can stay with me :)

drsync has a problem: it is not UTF save, see #314166 for more
information. If you consider adopting it, this is a must-fix and will
take you some time to rewrite parts of drsync on your own. Upstream is
not interested in drsync since more than a year, a few month ago he
disapeared completely.

If noone takes it, I will request to remove drsync of debian in two
weeks from now.

Nevertheless, if you still want to be the new maintainer, please take it
-- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: wrapper for file synchronisation via rsync
 drsync is a Perl wrapper for rsync which keeps track of the filelist
 between synchronizations. It is ideal for notebook users who want to
 keep data in two (or more) different places. It is also good for the
 Linux PDAs (Agenda, iPAQ, Yopi, etc.), to keep data synchronized with
 the desktop.

Subject: Bug#354843: fixed

Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2006 15:19:11 -0700

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

    drsync |    0.4.3-7 | source, 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was superseded by another one.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 354843@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.
