Source: lcas-lcmaps-gt4-interface Version: 0.3.1-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Dennis van Dok <[email protected]>, [email protected], Debian Science Team <[email protected]>, Debian HPC Team <[email protected]>, Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]>
Dear maintainer, I included Debian Science team and Debian HPC team into this question since here should be the experts whether this package might have some remaining use inside Debian. I suggest removing lcas-lcmaps-gt4-interface from Debian for the following reasons: * relies on the Globus Toolkit (GT4), which has reached "End of Life" and is no longer maintained. * orphaned upstream so does not receive security patches, posing a risk to authentication workflows. * uses old X.509 GSI standards that are often incompatible with modern OpenSSL versions and have been replaced by OAuth2/OIDC tokens. * no function outside of legacy scientific grid computing. For standard servers or desktops, it is useless * removal would reduces technical debt and prevents potential dependency conflicts during future Debian upgrades. * there are no (build-)dependencies to other packages * There are no votes in popcon https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=lcas-lcmaps-gt4-interface&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 seems to be no active maintainer 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: lcas-lcmaps-gt4-interface -- RoM; rc-buggy Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:lcas-lcmaps-gt4-interface 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 Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment. 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.
