Subject: RM: gnome-web-photo -- ROM; RC bug, unmaintained, alternatives exist

Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2017 13:53:58 -0400

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

gnome-web-photo is a tool to "create snapshot images and print web
pages from the command line". Two years ago, I migrated this from
Ubuntu into Debian and made myself maintainer, mostly to scratch my
own itch: I was using the Shutter screenshot tool and there was a
"webpage" button that I wanted to use.

Now, this has been removed from testing because it has an RC bug
(#866639) and upstream hasn't seen activity in years.  Furthermore, I
don't use Shutter anymore and, to make webpage screenshots, I use
Firefox ("alt-f2 and the "screenshot" command). It's not exactly
the usual "commandline", but it *is* a *kind* of a commandline, and
perfectly fits my needs.

Therefore, please remove this from the archive before security issues
bite us in the behind.

Thanks!

Subject: Bug#873015: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2017 22:11:23 +0000

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

gnome-web-photo |   0.10.6-1 | source, hurd-i386
gnome-web-photo | 0.10.6-1+b1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; RC bug, unmaintained, 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 873015@bugs.debian.org.

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
