Dear maintainer,
I suggest removing grpn from Debian for the following reasons:
* It accumulated one RC-bug:
#967463 grpn: depends on deprecated GTK 2
#1075046 grpn: ftbfs with GCC-14* It is not part of bookworm or trixie and
is not a key package.
* Not released with Trixie
* Upstream development stalled, for instance a new release
was asked for three years ago (https://github.com/utopiabound/grpn/issues/19)
* There seems to be no active maintainer
(lagging several versions behind upstream, no response to bugs)
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 kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
* If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.
* Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.
* If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.
Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: grpn -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:grpn
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.
