Subject: openmash: should this package be orphaned?

Date: Fri, 11 May 2007 01:05:53 -0600

Package: openmash
Version: 5.2-4
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-orphan

Hi,

While reviewing packages that were not included in Etch, your package came
up as a package that should maybe be orphaned by its maintainer, because:

	* Several Release Critical Bugs open since more than 1 Year
	* Last Upload by Maintainer back in 2004

If you think that it should be removed from Debian instead of being orphaned,
please reply to this bug and tell so.

If you agree that it should be orphaned, sending the following commands to
control@bugs.debian.org should do it (after replacing nnnnnn with this bug's
number):
severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn wnpp
retitle nnnnnn O: openmash -- <short package description>
thanks

For more information, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-archive-manip
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please close
this bug, preferably in an upload also fixing the other issues.

Thank you,
	- michael

	Done.  But in fact, I am thinking that it should be simply removed from Debian.
Its upstream is dead, as it was funded with a USA R&D grant that ended long time
ago.  It was something that I was pondering some time ago.

	Any objections?

No one's expressed interest in three months, going ahead with removal.

Thanks,

Subject: Bug#423306: fixed

Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2007 19:24:37 +0000

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

  openmash |      5.2-3 | alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
  openmash |      5.2-4 | source, i386

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 423306@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.
