Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Please remove the package emil from the Debian archive.
I maintain it since 1998 now and I think it is no longer necessary. In 1998, when I first packaged emil, it was a useful tool to convert mails with uuencoded attachments or mails from SUN mailtool to BASE64. This is no longer necessary since every mail client today has native BASE64 support. The popularity contest http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=emil shows that there were 70-80 users between 2005 and 2010 while the number of users went down to 25 since this. In http://bugs.debian.org/678092 (more than 7 months ago) I requested for adoption, but nobody jumped in to adopt it, so nobody seems to need this tool. According to "dak rm -Rn emil" there are no reverse dependencies that would stop the removal. Greetings Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
