Subject: O: yank -- yet another notekeeper

Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 14:29:01 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of yank, Othmar Pasteka <othmar@debian.org>,
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.

Description: yet another notekeeper
 Yank is a simple notekeeper and todo-list manager using the gnome and
 gtk libraries. It feels stable and usable enough to be released to the
 public but it surely lacks some (not so important) features which
 might be added later. Excessive tests have shown that yank is
 fool-proof, irritating and wasting too much memory.

Subject: the state of yank

Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 11:56:58 +0200

The yank package:
      * is orphaned (bug#374129),
      * has been maintained by NMUs for 3 years,
      * has several potential replacements in the archive,
      * is buggy according to its own description,
      * is probably the last one to use GConf 1.

Should I ask for its removal?

Subject: Bug#374129: fixed

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:23:00 -0700

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

      yank |  0.2.1-7.3 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, 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was superseded by another one.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 374129@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.
