-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all,
To be different, I went down the list of contrib packages with RC bugs, and found a few that qualify for removal: Package: atari800 Testing: 1.2.2-1 Unstable: 1.3.0-2 Bugs: 193397 203707 Suggestion: NMU, remove-from-testing Analysis: FTBFS bug open 115 days, no response from maintainer. Security hole reported 37 days ago w/patch; local root exploit (CAN-2003-0630). This has been fixed for woody and the Maintainer mentioned a pending upload on Aug 5, but nothing has happened since. I recommened removing from testing until this is patched. Package: freenet-unstable Testing: 0.6+20021221-1 Unstable: 0.6+20021221-1 Bugs: 177011 208399 Suggestion: remove-from-testing, orphan-package Analysis: Maintainer script broken for 234 days, patch sent to bts in January 2003. No response from maintainer and no upload in a year. Even when this is worked around, the app seems unusable. I'm guessing maintainer isn't interested anymore since he hasn't responded to the RC bugs. It would seem that this pkg is more a candidate for experimental than unstable, as the pkg has quite a few old important and normal bugs. However, don't remove from unstable b/c of dep by frost. I will mail debian-qa about orphaning. Package: tkxanim Testing: 0.43-6 Unstable:0.43-6 Bugs: 208373 Suggestion: remove-from-testing, remove-from-unstable Analysis: This package contains a Tcl/Tk interface to xanim. xanim was removed from unstable because it was a long time orphaned non-free app that has since been replaces/superceded by xine. As this package is useless without xanim, there doesn't seem much of a point keeping it around. N.B. tkxanim is the only reverse-dep on xanim; so after it is removed, both can/should be removed from testing.
