[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear FTP team,

I am hereby requesting for dspam to be removed from unstable (and
therefore testing) since the sole upstream developer has publicly
announced [1] it is leaving the project. Given the absence of any
commit since several months, it seems quite clear that nobody will take
over maintainance.

[1] http://sourceforge.net/p/dspam/mailman/message/32585111/

As annoying as it is for all its users (and I'm one of them) it's best
to make it clear that dspam is no longer supported. For the past 2 years
I've been stacking patches to fix security issues and serious bugs and I
can't imagine another release cycle like this, with no hope of any patch
being merged.

Best regards,

Thomas Preud'homme

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; No longer maintained upstream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 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 754810@bugs.debian.org.
