Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
On 10 Jan 2010, I proposed removal of this package from Debian for
the following reasons:
1. No reverse dependencies
2. Net::Lite::FTP and Net::FTP::Lite by the same author, the latter
has only stub documentation from h2xs, the former barely has any
documentation at all
3. Popcon score 70 installed (good), 3 recent (bad)... what we're
seeing is that people are installing it, taking a look at it, and then
realizing it's not useful, and therefore not touching it recently.
4. The package is inconsistent and doesn't seem to follow the latest
standards of Perl module packaging upstream -- ie, Meta.yml M.yml
5. Barely any test coverage -- it only has one test, and it doesn't
seem to do any actual live tests.
6. Net::FTP is in Perl core (package perl) since 5.7.3 (note also,
Net::FTP is maintained by Graham Barr, a prominent Perl author)
7. There are two upstream bugs outstanding for years (filed 2 and 4
years ago) - see
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Net-Lite-FTP
gregor herrmann <[email protected]> agreed with the decision, and
there were no objections received by the team during this time.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
libnet-lite-ftp-perl | 0.54-2 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; consensus decision for various reasons; see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2010/01/msg00021.html
----------------------------------------------
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 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.
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].
