Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
zp[1][2] and zpaq[3][4] are orphan, have the same upstream and were
introduced in Debian by Jari Aalto, in 2010. They have a very very
very similar source code. The mcdiff command is useful to see it.
Important considerations:
- Current zp revision is 1.0-1.
- zp no longer exists in upstream homepage[4].
- zp Popcon is 129.
- zp is orphan.
- Current zpaq revision is 1.10-3.
- zpaq is available in upsteam homepage (version 7.15, 2016). So, zp is
obsoleted.
- zpaq Popcon is 154.
- zpaq is orphan.
- I intent make a QA upload for zpaq, with a "Provides: zp" field, after
zp removal.
