Hi Olly (2011.11.10_19:50:26_+0200)
 It's now close to 3 months with no maintainer response, and cryptonit is
 one of the packages blocking removal of wxwidgets2.6.

It's been 3 months, let's do this.

It's now close to 3 months with no maintainer response, and cryptonit is
one of the packages blocking removal of wxwidgets2.6.

Given there are multiple FTBFS bugs, no maintainer upload for 5 years,
no reverse dependencies, and we have alternative MUAs with crypto
support packaged, I will request removal in a couple of weeks, unless
someone steps forward and starts to actively maintain this package.

Cheers,
Olly

Bug#637641: src:cryptonit: should this package be orphaned?

2011-08-13 Thread Stefano Rivera
Package: src:cryptonit
Version: 0.9.7-2.4
Severity: wishlist
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-orphan

Dear maintainer,

I noticed that this package is in need of some work, and I think it's a
candidate for orphaning because:
* The last maintainer upload was in 2006 (5 years ago), and has been
  maintained by NMU ever since.
* It's got a few RC bugs (FTBFS: #554293, #636956)
* There is lowish popcon (although clearly there are a few users)

If you still have interest in maintaining this package, please close
this bug and fix the RC issues (there are patches in the BTS).

If there are no takers for this package in three months or so, I'll
persue removal. Clearly there are users (and the package looks useful).
I'd like someone to step up and maintain it.
