Subject: O: eroaster -- A GNOME CD burning frontend

Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 12:31:53 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the eroaster package.

The package description is:
 Eroaster is a graphical frontend to cdrecord and mkisofs written
 in Python. It supports drag & drop out of most popular filemanagers and
 direct burning of .mp3 and .ogg files.

It is not maintained upstream, buggy, and closely dependent on cdrtools. I'd
suggest that gnomebaker is a much better alternative.

If no one adopts it within 30 days I will ask for it to be removed.

Cheers,

Rob

Subject: Bug#364280: fixed

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:17:39 -0700

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

  eroaster | 2.2.0-0.9a-2 | 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was superseded by another one.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 364280@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.
