Hallo,
on behalf of the former maintainer, Monty Taylor I request removal of plywood
I orphaned plywood (#724269) a while ago, and as there was no response I think
it is time to remove it finally.
Thanks,

I have, in fact, lost interest in these packages. I was packaging them
because I was also upstream for them - and then I stopped working on
them as an upstream, so I stopped working on them as a packager too.

Yes please - I think a new maintainer would be great. That said - both
are essentially abandoned upstream, so it might be worthwhile looking to
see if it makes sense for them to remain in debian at all.

Thank you!

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
plywood | 0.5.11+nmu2 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; dead upstream, no reverse deps
----------------------------------------------
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 (ftp.debian.org
included) 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 [email protected].

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
