Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: Dear FTP masters, Please remove mrd6 from the unstable distribution as it is no longer maintained since 2013. Quoting its README file [1]: "[note from the author, 2013: mrd6 is unsupported software. Since 2005 native multicast forwarding support has been added to Linux and pim6sd can be used to manage it. mrd6's codebase is kept around for historical reasons, it should still work in current kernels and still allows you to do funky things with routing. Feel free to fork. -hugo]" [1] https://github.com/hugosantos/mrd6/blob/master/README It currently has a popcon of 13. Best regards, Thomas
