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

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: stigge@antcom.de

Hi,

Please remove polarssl from unstable and experimental.

PolarSSL has been rebranded upstream as "mbed TLS" and not too long ago
released version 2 which contains significant API changes. The new
version is packaged as "mbedtls" and I maintain it.

I think everything which was using polarssl has been ported to mbedtls
so the old package can now be removed. The final rdeps bzrtp and belle-
sip were recently uploaded so you might have to wait a bit until
they've been built everywhere.

I've emailed Roland Stigge (the polarssl maintainer, on copy) who said
it was ok for the package to be removed.

Thanks,
James

Subject: Bug#812603: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:07:59 +0000

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

libpolarssl-dev |  1.3.9-2.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libpolarssl-runtime |  1.3.9-2.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libpolarssl7 |  1.3.9-2.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
  polarssl |  1.3.9-2.1 | source

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; rc-buggy, superseded by mbedtls
----------------------------------------------

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 812603@bugs.debian.org.
