I'm the former maintainer of the webauth package, which provides an
Apache-based web single sign-on system. I maintained the software as
upstream when I worked for Stanford University.
Stanford chose to replace the software after I left with Shibboleth
and has done no further work on it. At this point, it's unlikely that
anyone will pick up maintenance. Since this is a security package
with some known protocol flaws (including lack of hash agility and use
of SHA-1), I don't feel comfortable continuing to include it in Debian.
I don't think anyone is in a good position to provide security support
for it.
It currently has a fixable RC bug due to running perlcritic during
the build, so is not present in testing.

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; RC buggy, obsolete, security
----------------------------------------------
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/1005362
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
