--- Begin Message ---Package: oskit Version: 0.97.20030827savannah-0.1 Severity: normal This is a semi-automated bug report based on scanning the contents of binary .deb files in the unstable Debian archive. The oskit packages seem to contain a very large amount of architecture-independent data in architecture-dependent packages, specifically data installed under /usr/share. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. Initial estimates suggest that several gigabytes of Debian archive space may currently be wasted because of packages like this. The way to fix this depends on the layout of your package: * Some packages need to have a -common or -doc package split out to contain this common data, and the existing packages that need this data should then be altered to depend on the new -common or -doc package. * This package may already be such a -common or -doc package, in which case it probably should already be marked as Architecture: all in your debian/control file rather than Architecture: any . * Maybe the files under /usr/share do not belong there - several packages seem to contain data in /usr/share that is definitely architecture-dependent. In this case, please move the files into the right place. Policy is quite clear on this point: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-archindepdata The usage of these packages is currently: debsize pkgsize /usr/share % filename 21908402 32256 18276 56 pool/main/o/oskit/oskit_0.97.20030827savannah-0.1_hurd-i386.deb 30255744 41504 26048 62 pool/main/o/oskit/oskit_0.97.20030827savannah-0.1_i386.deb Please split this package appropriately. If you believe your package is already split reasonably, then sorry for bothering you. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reply to this bug. If you agree that there's a problem here but need help to fix it: again, feel free to ask... Thanks, -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

--- Begin Message ------------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Bug#423308: fixed Date: Tuesday 08 January 2008 From: Debian Archive Maintenance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: oskit | 0.97.20030827savannah-1 | source, hurd-i386, i386 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian distribution maintenance software pp. Joerg Jaspert (the ftpmaster behind the curtain) ------------------------------------------------------- -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
