--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected] [email protected] Dear FTP Masters, Following the discussion in https://bugs.debian.org/893649 , it is obvious that package "xvt" is no longer suitable for Debian. The package: * Upstream dead, saw no upstream activity in the 21st century * Received no maintainer upload since 2006 * Has better alternatives (forks): rxvt and others * Received no maintainer response for removal request Bug #893649 since March 2018 Package xvt has no reverse dependencies. As a result, please remove xvt from Debian Archive. Dear Sam, if you have any ideas about the removal of xvt, please feel free to share them here and manipulate this RM bug if you find necessary. -- Thanks! Boyuan Yang

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: xvt | 2.1-20.3 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; unmaintained; upstream dead; better alternative 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/903620 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
