Subject: proposed RM: upstart -- RoQA; unmaintained

Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 12:25:50 +0100

Source: upstart
Source-Version: 1.11-5

The upstart package seems both unmaintained in Debian[1] and upstream.
It also has open RC bugs and was removed from stretch five months ago.
I therefore suggest to remove the package.

If there are no objections, I'll reassign this bug report to ftp.d.o in
a week or so.

  [1] The current version in Debian is 1.11 which was released in 2013.
      There have been 5 upstream releases since then, the last in 2014.

I'm not going to comment on whether to remove upstart or not.
But if you do, the mountall package should probably be removed along
with it. The mountall tool is a helper for upstart and without upstart
it would be pretty useless to have this package in the archive.

Regards,
Michael

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; 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 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 808289@bugs.debian.org.
