Subject: RM: amsn -- RoQA; 5 years with no upstream security support, other better solutions available

Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 20:55:28 -0500

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Filing on behalf of the QA team as part of my DD tasks and skills
work.  This package should be removed since outstanding security
issues have not been addressed for five years.  The maintainer has
also indicated that he is ok with the package going away as there are
better msn-compatibility solutions anyway.  For more info see:
http://bugs.debian.org/557754

Best wishes,
Mike

Subject: Bug#654540: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:12:34 +0000

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

      amsn |   0.98.4-4 | source, amd64, armhf, hurd-i386, ia64
      amsn | 0.98.4-4+b1 | armel, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
 amsn-data |   0.98.4-4 | all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; 5 years with no upstream security support, other better solutions 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.

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 654540@bugs.debian.org.
