Subject: RFA: freeloader -- A nice GNOME download manager supporting torrents

Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2007 08:47:21 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I think freeloader should be removed from Debian.

The project is unmaintained upstream, and the package has very few
users, better alternatives exist and are in the archive.

Ifanyone is willing to adopt this package, feel fre to do so. If there
is no new maintainer within the next month or so, I will request the
removal of the package.

Here is the long description: 
 Freeloader is a nice GNOME download manager written in Python
 and supporting torrents. Its main features are:
  * Support for BitTorrent files
  * Command line control
  * File system monitoring
  * Sorting by status or progress
  * Preferences saved in GConf
  * Drag and drop URLs or Torrents into main window or tray
  * Support for retrieval from most URLs (ftp, http, etc)
  * Support for hiding in system tray
  * Interruptible downloads

Cheers,
Julien

Subject: Bug#454907: fixed

Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 22:44:55 +0000

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

freeloader |      0.3-8 | 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was superseded by another one.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 454907@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.
