Subject: patch to avoid gnome-desktop-sharp2 removal because of gtkhtml3.14 atleast.

Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 21:24:23 +0200

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

Hello!

Spoke to Laney and Ricotz on IRC. There might be some very vague interest
in keeping gnome-desktop-sharp2 alive, thus I created the attached patch
which someone will need to pick up if they really are interested.
Note that this does not solve the existing RC bugs on gnome-desktop-sharp2
but those can be handled separately. No reason to entangle those issues
with the gtkhtml3.14 removal.

The attached patch would be an alternative way to close this bug report
and also take down all the bug reports marked as blockers for this
(for now atleast).

The bar is now set very low for anyone to show they actually want to
keep the c# bindings afloat.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; abandoned
----------------------------------------------

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 797567@bugs.debian.org.

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
