Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the mcs package. The package has been deprecated
upstream in favour of GSettings, and there are just few packages
depending on it in Debian, most of them are or were plugins for
ancient versions of Audacious media player, and they either don't build
against the modern versions of it, or just don't work.
Therefore I also propose to removed the reverse dependencies now. And,
if nobody oppose, it'd be probably reasonable to remove mcs package as
well after some time.
MCS used to be a good and lightweight configuration library, but it
seems, unfortunately, it's now time for it to go :(
The package description is:
Modular Config System is a library and set of tools which abstract the
storage of configuration settings away from userland applications.
.
It is hoped that by using mcs, that the applications which use it will
generally have a more congruent feeling in regards to settings.
.
Highlights:
* Cleanly implemented BSD-licenced code.
* Simple, elegant, non-intrusive programming interface.
* Modular design allows for third-party configuration backends to be
implemented without any extra effort on the part of the development
process of your products.
* Dummy configuration backend which pretends that the configuration is
blank.
* Robust object-oriented design implemented as low-footprint C, mcs only
adds a ~20KB memory footprint to your application.
* XDG Base Directory spec compliance.
* GConf support.
* It's fast.

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; orphaned, obsolete
----------------------------------------------
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 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].
