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

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I don't really use this any more. Many of the UI warts it covers were
dealt with in Aptitude, or people can just use wajig.

Subject: reasons to keep it?

Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2006 09:11:57 +0100

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

Hi,

from the package descriptions, feta and wajig seem to have the same features. 
Joe Wreschnig, the orphaning maintainer of feta is also it's upstream, so I 
wonder what reasons there are to keep feta in the archive?

Wouldn't removing it and adding a "conflicts: & provides: feta" (or 
"replaces"? it's too early on a sunday...) to wajig a sensible road to take? 
Or am I missing something?


regards,
	Holger

It's still very useful, but I don't have the time to maintain it myself.
Unless it becomes unusable for some reason I'd like to see it kept.

Cheers,

Well, it now has an RC bug about a temp file issue. No-one has turned up in 
two years of orphaning. Should we keep it?

Which has been filed as part of some badly done mass bug filing...

I'm aware of that, that's why I first checked the bug and could confirm it.

I still use a subset of the functionality, which isn't present in
aptitude, so I'll rather NMU it.

I've replaced the functionality I needed. Let's go ahead with the removal.

Subject: Bug#388363: fixed

Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:58:52 +0000

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

      feta | 1.4.16+nmu1 | 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was superseded by another one.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 388363@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.
