Source: star
Version: 1.5final-2
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS, somewhat low popcon, alternatives are Essential: yes
User: [email protected]
Usertags: proposed-removal
star seems like a possible candidate for removal from Debian:
* somewhat low, and declining popcon (73 votes)
* two RC FTBFS bugs in the build system
* alternatives exist (GNU tar is Essential: yes)
* no rdepends; no reverse-recommends without alternatives
* no maintainer upload since 2008-07-01
Nothing seems to depend on star. dvbackup and flexbackup recommend it, but
only among alternatives (dvbackup prefers star, flexbackup prefers afio).
One of the advantages stated in the Description is that it's "the only tar
implementation under Linux capable of archiving Access Control Lists". This
no longer seems to be true, now that we have bsdtar (I was surprised to find
that GNU tar doesn't do ACLs yet, though).
If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please just close this bug,
and do an upload to fix the issues in it.
If you don't think it's worth keeping, please send the following commands
to [email protected], replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number:
severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: star -- RoM; <reasons>
thanks

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
star | 1.5a67-1.2 | source, armel
star | 1.5final-2 | source, alpha, amd64, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64,
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; unmaintained, low popcon, 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 (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].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
