Subject: O: autopilot -- Monitor the DTR line of /dev/palm and run a command to start sync

Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2006 20:13:16 +0300

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I've just orphaned the autopilot package, as I no longer use it.
It's very small and simple, good material for one's first deb.
I don't think the upstream has been active for years, but I have
not kept in contact either.

The package description is:
 AutoPilot monitors the DTR line of /dev/palm, waiting for it to go
 from LOW to HIGH, which is used to activate a command automatically
 to make syncing easier. It can be used to boot up your favourite Palm
 syncer.

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

severity 364470 serious
thanks

This is a very old package, and has a low (~80) popcon rating. I'd
consider it a removal candidate. Comments?

Subject: Bug#364470: fixed

Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:46:50 +0000

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

 autopilot |     1.21-2 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, 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was superseded by another one.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 364470@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.
