Source: scmail Version: 1.3-4.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: NIIBE Yutaka <[email protected]>, [email protected], Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]>
Dear Yutaka, I suggest removing scmail from Debian for the following reasons: * As per the current Homepage http://0xcc.net/scmail/ its latest release dates back 21 years * Last maintainer upload 14 years ago * Popcon shows never high usage but even this decreased: https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=scmail&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 * There are actively maintained alternatives in Debian This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package. In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: scmail -- RoM; Unmaintained, better alternatives Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:scmail Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned. 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 the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards Andreas.
