Subject: O: libapache-mod-gzip -- HTTP compression module for Apache

Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2006 12:30:01 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the libapache-mod-gzip package.

I have not use it for a long time and I don't know if anyone uses it. I
will retire from project soon, so I suppose it will be better if I
orphan it :-(

The package description is:
 This module adds 'on the fly' compression of HTTP content to
 any Apache Web Server. It uses the IETF Content-encoding standard(s).
 .
 It will compress both static files and the output of any CGI
 program including shell scripts, perl scripts, executables,
 PHP used as CGI, etc.

Hi all,

Let's remove libapache-mod-gzip:
- Supports Apache 1 only, which is about to be removed (see #418266).
- Apache2 has this functionality built-in (mod_deflate).
- Orphaned for 5 months with no takers.

Subject: Bug#401682: fixed

Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 08:24:21 +0000

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

libapache-mod-gzip | 1.3.26.1a-10 | 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was superseded by another one.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 401682@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.
