Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hello
I want to request the removal of the uptimed package package works on long running servers, but breaks with non-rtc systems [1], leap second [2], and general bugginess that hasn't been solved in years [3] Some time ago I discovered tuptime which has none of this bugs, a responsive upstream and a modern codebase. Ricardo (tuptime upstream and Debian maintainer) has agreed to add a note to tuptime's long description about uptimed (for people doing `apt-cache search uptimed`) and a migration script [4] I'll submit a patch to Buster release notes regarding the removal. thanks [1] https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed/issues/1 [2] https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed/issues/11 [3] #654830 6 years old https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed/issues/2 4 y.o https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uptimed/+bug/498439 9 y.o [4] https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/t/tuptime/tuptime_3.4.1_changelog
