--- Begin Message ---Package: ack Version: 1.39-12 Severity: normal I think nkf is the tool of choice for the Japanese encoding converter with good huristics capability. Otherwise, we have iconv. This upstream changelog is from 1994. And Debian package has not changed from oldstable. manpage is less than adquate. tool does not handle UTF-8. there is no dependency problem for removal. Do you think we should keep this in our archive or just forgot to request removel? Regards, Osamu PS: I realized this package after reading kcc on debian-devel. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ack depends on: ii libc6 2.13-27 ack recommends no packages. ack suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: ack | 1.39-12 | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc ack | 1.39-12+b1 | hurd-i386 ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; dead upstream, no UTF-8 support, better 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 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]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/662114 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
