Subject: O: apple2 -- Apple ][ Emulator

Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2006 02:26:54 +0200

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

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of apple2, Tom Lear <tom@trap.mtview.ca.us>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package now.

If you 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.

Some information about this package:

Description: Apple ][ Emulator
 This is a fully-functional 100% Apple ][ emulator for the Linux console.
 .
 It is partly written in 386 (AT&T) assembler and partly in C. You can
 switch diskettes using a diskette database through an intuitive
 interface.  Furthermore, it is possible to trim the speed of the
 emulator and it runs in full speed (approximately) twice as fast as an
 standard Apple II+ on a 486DX-50.  It uses the svgalib's key scancodes
 and implements the undocumented 6502 instructions (required by at
 least two games: Bug Attack and MS Pacman).
 .
 Because the Apple ROMs are copyrighted, they are not included here.  You
 will have to make copies of them from your old Apple computer, or try to
 find them on the net.
 .
 Transferring your old Apple disks is a bit of work, but you can save
 yourself the trouble of digging up your old masters by seeing if some
 kind soul has already done the work for you at:
 .
    ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/
 .
 Remember, you can only use these ROMs and images _legally_ if you already
 own the original.  Have fun!   (Ahhh....  What memories!)

Subject: Bug#361344: fixed

Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:48:42 +0000

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

    apple2 |    0.7.4-5 | source, i386
   xapple2 |    0.7.4-5 | i386

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 361344@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/361344

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.
