Bug#329683: ftp.debian.org: Please remove mime-codecs
On November 29, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: See above, seems the vm removal thingy is a misunderstanding. What a relief! For anyone looking to stop using mime-codecs within the vm suite, i thought i'd explicitly mention the perl one-liners that can replace them. From my ~/.vm: ; *** replacement for mime-codecs package *** ; ; This relies on having the perl package installed to provide the ; relevant modules: ; ; /usr/lib/perl/5.8.7/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm ; /usr/lib/perl/5.8.7/MIME/Base64.pm (setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-program /usr/bin/perl) (setq vm-mime-base64-decoder-switches '(-MMIME::Base64 -ne print decode_base64($_))) (setq vm-mime-base64-encoder-program /usr/bin/perl) (setq vm-mime-base64-encoder-switches '(-MMIME::Base64 -ne print encode_base64($_))) (setq vm-mime-qp-decoder-program /usr/bin/perl) (setq vm-mime-qp-decoder-switches '(-MMIME::QuotedPrint -ne print decode_qp($_))) (setq vm-mime-qp-encoder-program /usr/bin/perl) (setq vm-mime-qp-encoder-switches '(-MMIME::QuotedPrint -ne print encode_qp($_))) hth, --dkg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Please remove it from the archive. I assume you want to remove the vm source package? If you just want to remove mime-codecs, you should simply stop building it from the vm source package. As discussed on IRC, it became clear to me that you intended the latter, so I'm reassigning this bug -- as you are yourself able to resolve this.
