Control: affects -1 + src:gnuserv
i've recently found out that gnuserv has major issues with the most
recent emacsen (most likely related to the "native" compilation mess).
upstream has abandoned gnuserv quite a few years ago.
as far as i can tell everything that you could do with gnuserv can now
be done pretty cleanly with emacsclient, which is maintained and part
of the mainstream emacs releases.
as there are sufficient alternatives for this bit of buggy lisp
i'd like to stop maintaining gnuserv and would suggest we don't
ship it in future debian releases.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
gnuserv | 3.12.8-12 | source, amd64, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el, s390x
gnuserv | 3.12.8-12+b1 | riscv64
gnuserv | 3.12.8-12+b2 | arm64
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; upstream gone, not useful anymore and functionality superseded
----------------------------------------------
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].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
