Subject: RM: apt-proxy -- RoQA; unusable ATM; maintainer proposed removal; alternatives available

Date: Wed, 07 Apr 2010 15:52:24 +0200

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

apt-proxy is currently non usable due to #460338. Maintainer (Cc:-ed) has
investigated that and other outstanding bugs and has evaluated that it is not
worth bringing apt-proxy back into shap, because there is noone actively
developing apt-proxy anymore, and also because there are alternatives APT
proxy/cache solutions available.

For the full context see #460338, starting at the following message:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=460338#92

dak reports no reverse dependencies for apt-proxy.

Can you please remove apt-proxy from unstable?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.

Subject: Bug#576821: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:35:47 +0000

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

 apt-proxy |     1.9.37 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; unusable ATM; maintainer proposed removal; alternatives available
----------------------------------------------

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.

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was superseded by another one.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 576821@bugs.debian.org.
