Dear maintainer,
I suggest removing animals from Debian for the following reasons:
* Its blocking the removal of db5.3
#1119191 animals: Depends on db5.3
* It is not maintained upstream since 13 years
* There seems to be no active maintainer
A good reason to keep this game is that it has some popularity
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=animals&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
but it needs active maintenance and even more importantly upstream
work / needs to be taken over upstream to find some replacement for
db5.3. The hope of this pre-removal bug is to make users aware
that without some work this package will not be available for a
long time in Debian any more.
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month (or more), the
bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of
the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
* If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.
* If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.
Once all the mentioned bugs has been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: animals -- RoM; blocking db5.3 removal,
unmaintained, orphaned upstream
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:animals
In case you disagree with the above, 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
