Dear Mike,
I suggest removing vmfs-tools from Debian for the following reasons:
* It accumulated one RC-bug:
#1084476 vmfs-tools: move from fuse to fuse3
and due to this it will be removed from testing at end of the year.
* vmfs6-tools was removed from Debian for similar reasons (#1120780)
* The package seems to be orphaned upstream and solving the bug
by porting to fuse3 seems quite some effort.
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 the mentioned RC bugs has 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: vmfs-tools -- RoM; rc-buggy, unmaintained
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:vmfs-tools
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.
