Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of cassbeam, Brian R Furry <bfurry@nac.net>,
is 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: A program for Cassegrain antenna modelling
 Cassbeam is a Cassegrain antenna ray tracer.  A Cassegrain antenna
 is a double reflector system which works on the principle of cassegrain
 optical telescope.  A high gain cassegrain reflector antenna in Ku-band
 has been successfully developed for command transmit application for the
 missile programme. It can also be used for monopulse radar, satellite
 communication.
 .
 Based on an input text file, it computes several properties of the
 antenna including gain, zenith system temperature, and the beam, in full
 polarization.  All calculations are done in the transmit sense
 and use reciprocity to relate to the equivalent receiving system.
 .
 Additionally, cassbeam allows deformations, or pathologies of the
 optics to be modelled.  Currently this is limited to rotations and
 translations of the feed and secondary.  In the future, large scale
 deviations in the primary (such as a misplaced panel) will likely be
 supported.

Subject: WNPP bug retitle

Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:59:14 -0600

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to retitle the ITA you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITA wnpp bug is being orphaned because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 250 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be managing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be orphaned, for
example if the ITA is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please retitle the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily recover
their bugs ;-).

To retitle it, you simply have to mail <control@bugs.debian.org>
with a body text like this:

 retitle 391196 ITA: cassbeam -- A program for Cassegrain antenna modelling
 owner 391196 !
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
391196@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of cassbeam back from ITA
(Intent to Adopt) to O (Orphaned), because this bug hasn't seen any activity
during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in adopting cassbeam, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 391196 ITA: cassbeam -- A program for Cassegrain antenna modelling
 owner 391196 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITA for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
adopting the package. It is also a good idea to document your progress on this
ITA from time to time, by mailing <391196@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi,

The cassbeam package has been orphaned for a long time, and nobody has
been willing to take it over.
I am therefore requesting its removal from Debian.

If you still need the package, or want to reintroduce it in Debian, the
latest version ever found in Debian is available from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/cassbeam/

Subject: Bug#391196: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 01:22:35 +0000

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

  cassbeam |      1.0-8 | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; orphaned, low popcon
----------------------------------------------

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 usually not 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. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close Bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically.  But please check all old bugs, if they where closed
correctly or should have been re-assign to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 391196@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/391196

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.
