--- Begin Message ---Source: jargon Version: 4.0.0-9 Severity: serious Justification: grab attention of potential new maintainer X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]> Hi, I suggest removing jargon from Debian for the following reasons: * No maintainer * No upstream http://www.catb.org/jargon/download.html : "Also note that the info version has been phased out; it's an HTML world now." This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. If no real maintainer might pick up the task to modernise the package and possibly base it on the latest jargon database as suggested in bug #914542 it will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package. In case there will be no new maintainer in 31 days I will reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: jargon -- RoM; unmaintained, unsupported upstream Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:jargon In case you want to take over maintenance, please add a wontfix tag to this bug. Control: tags -1 + wontfix This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards Andreas.

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: jargon | 4.0.0-9 | source, all ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoM; unmaintained, upstream considers it phased ---------------------------------------------- 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/1118537 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
