Hi Andreas, Andreas Tille wrote: This package was removed from Debian (see #228074, which can not be reopened because it is archived). The reason that it is RC buggy) is void because #461995 took me 1 Minute to fix (well, you can blame me for not having this done before the removal - the package was just not on my focus). The other reason few users is probably right considering popcon, but this as the only reason to remove a package is not enough. I think upgradebility from Etch to Lenny is a much higher value. So I ask for reintroducing this package quickly. The package was removed after noone was interested in maintaining it for four(!) years. Unless you plan to diligently maintain it, please do not reintroduce it into Debian. Contrary to what could be the perception when looking at some packaging efforts, Debian is not an encyclopedia of every bit of source that has ever been available on the net. If plr is unmaintained, it should not be released with lenny.

Unless you plan to diligently maintain it, please do not reintroduce it into Debian. I plan to maintain it good enouth to trust it in a server application I wrote. In case you might have some doubt here is the changelog of my work: plr (1:8.3.0.6-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version * New maintainer (package was removed from Debian and is subject to reinclude) * Added watch file * Use quilt to apply patch * Standards-Version: 3.8.0 (Added README.Sources because of using quilt) * Provides: postgresql-plr * debian/install: Make sure that any new version of the library gets moved to the right destination Closes: #461995 -- Andreas Tille [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:17:11 +0200 Feel free to inspect the bugs that are attached to my maintainer address if you want to make up your mind if I care for my packages.

Well, we might start nitpicking about the past whether an RFAed package that is actively updated by its mainteiner is interest in maintenance or not. I'd prefer to decide whether we want it back now or not. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
