Subject: RM: henplus -- RoQA; RC buggy, orphaned, low popcon, unmaintained

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi ftp-masters,

Package henplus has been RC buggy for more than a year, including one security
bug which remains unfixed. It has a new upstream version since 2009 which fixes
one RC bug but has not been packaged properly, neither its unofficial packaging
has been sponsored. Maintainer is MIA and package is orphaned since more than
a month without anybody showing interest so far.

Given all of the above and that at least one maintained alternative seems to
exist (sqlline), please, remove henplus from the archive.

regards,

Subject: Bug#642536: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:32:40 +0000

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

   henplus | 0.9.7.ds1-2 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; RC buggy, orphaned, low popcon, unmaintained
----------------------------------------------

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 642536@bugs.debian.org.
