Subject: RFA: craft -- Warcraft 2-like multi-player real-time strategy game

Date: Sat, 04 Mar 2006 11:07:26 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the craft package. I basically never use it
anymore and have no motivation to fix the upstream bugs.

The package description is:
 You are a Viking and have to lead a nation. Your main task is to
 command citizens; you can tell them to harvest resources, or to build
 one of the 9 building types.
 .
 The ultimate goal is to create enough knights, catapults etc. to
 wipe out the competing civilizations.
 .
 You can play against other humans by sending a window to their X
 display, or against a pretty clever AI.

Hi,

Do you still intend to adopt craft?  (This is just a ping, I'm not
interested in adopting it myself.)

Thanks,

Matej

I haven't heard back from you, so I'm assuming you're no longer
interested.  If you are, feel free to retitle the bug (but please
don't file a duplicate one).

Thanks,

Matej

I recommend this package be removed. It is incomplete, and no fun. I
have found no mention of this game anywhere else on the internet. There
is a much better, more complete alternative, freecraft, in the debian
repos.

If anyone strongly disagrees, and thinks that this game is great,
that's no skin off my back. I just think that, unless someone thinks
this package is worth any time, that it should be removed so that
devloper's/maintainers/bug-hunters will spend more time doing more
useful work for debian.

OK, I'm requesting the removal of this package.

Subject: Bug#355230: fixed

Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2008 15:57:16 +0000

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

     craft |     3.5-12 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
     craft |  3.5-12+b1 | hppa

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 355230@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.
