Subject: ftp.debian.org: RM: shaperd -- RoM; not compatible with new kernels, not maintained by upstream

Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 11:30:21 +0200

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

Please remove shaperd from unstable.

There has been no new release since 2002: http://freecode.com/projects/shaperd

And now it's not usable anymore with newer kernels, since IPQ is gone:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707444

Also, the whole traffic shaping infrastructure in the kernel got a lot
more mature and it's well documented now; so easy to configure but hacky
solutions, like shaperd is not so needed as in 2002.

Thank you,
Gergely

Subject: Bug#708220: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Sun, 19 May 2013 16:27:05 +0000

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

   shaperd |  0.2.1-5.2 | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; not compatible with new kernels, not maintained by upstream
----------------------------------------------

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 and will not propagate to any mirrors (ftp.debian.org
included) until the next dinstall 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 were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 708220@bugs.debian.org.
