Subject: ftp.debian.org: Please remove package: kernel-patch-vserver

Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2006 14:16:39 -0600

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

I maintain the package kernel-patch-vserver, and I would like to ask
that it be removed from unstable (so that it will eventually be removed
from etch). Now that the vserver patch is included in the linux-2.6 
packages, there is very little use in having this patch around, except
for providing more work for the security team, and myself. If people
want to patch the kernel, they can just patch the linux-2.6 package
with the patch they pull from upstream. 

Thanks!
Micah

Subject: Bug#390951: fixed

Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:49:09 -0700

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

kernel-patch-vserver |  2:2.0.1-4 | 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was superseded by another one.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 390951@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.
