Subject: RM: jpilot-backup -- ROM; No more maintained upstream

Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2013 21:13:44 +0100

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

I am the Debian maintainer and also the upstream maintainer of this
package. The software has not been updated since 2009.
And I do not use it since a long time.

And now people try to rebuild it on AArch64 and fails (see #727907)
I think it is a good time to remove the package from the archive.

Thanks

Subject: Bug#728043: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:14:58 +0000

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

jpilot-backup |     0.60-3 | source, amd64, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, s390x, sparc
jpilot-backup |  0.60-3+b1 | armel, hurd-i386, ia64, powerpc

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; No more maintained 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 728043@bugs.debian.org.

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
