Package: websvn
Severity: serious

I propose to remove websvn from Debian.

The package is unmaintained with last maintainer upload in 2011. There was also
no response to a security issues which I fixed in an NMU one year ago. I then
noticed and reported several packaging issues which have gone unaddressed.

A bug was upgraded to RC over 200 days ago with no response to date.

Last upstream release was in 2011. There are several alternatives to this
package.

I will reassign this bug to ftp-master when no objections arrive 'soon'.

Cheers,
Thijs

Hi Thijs,

websvn is not developed anymore (and I do not use it, which does not
help for testing/resolving bugs) since 2011, so I also think the removal
is the best option.

Cheers,
Pierre

Subject: Bug#810084: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 05:34:15 +0000

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

    websvn |  2.3.3-1.3 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
(RoQA; unmaintained, rc-buggy, inactive upstream, alternatives exist)
----------------------------------------------

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 810084@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
