Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,
please remove gwt from the archive. It's RC-buggy with one of the security bugs being open
for nearly a year and was already dropped from Wheezy. Popcon's really low as well and
the package in the archive is outdated compared to upstream.

There's a bug for transferring the package to debian-java, but that hasn't seen activity
for a year and the Debian Java team is notoriously understaffed, so I don't see that
happen.

Cheers,
        Moritz

Subject: Bug#718911: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:53:25 +0000

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

       gwt |    2.4.0-1 | source
libgwt-dev-java |    2.4.0-1 | all
libgwt-user-java |    2.4.0-1 | all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; RC-buggy, 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 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 718911@bugs.debian.org.
