Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the convertfs package.
The package description is:
This simple toolset allows you to change type of file system in the lack of
backup space. You can convert from virtually any filesystem type to virtually
any one as long as they are both block-oriented and supported by Linux for
read/write, and as long as primary filesystem supports sparse files.
This is a very nice tool, however it has a few problems that I don't
have time to fix that make it unsuitable for a Debian release:
- When an error happens during conversion, there is a change that you
lose a lot of data. This is a fault in the convertfs script in some
cases, but there are also some situations where low-level disk errors
don't get propagated to the top filesystem.
- The final step in converting a filesystem, reordering the blocks of
the target filesystem, is apparently programmed in a very inefficient
way, and it can take weeks for large filesystems to complete
convertfs.
If you want to adopt this package, you need to do some extensive testing
and hacking in the code. If noone steps up in a month, I'll ask for its
removal.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
convertfs | 20050113-2 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k,
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
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 (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are never 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.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
