I don't know either :) It's of course fine if someone else adopts it. My objective is that *some* action is to be taken. It has been unfit for release for over two years and not in testing or stable anytime. There has to be some change in that before etch, or in my opinion we should remove it. I don't think it's useful to keep things only in unstable for two releases or more. Thijs

Hi, Ask Panthera on IRC. He had expressed interest in adopting minit IIRC. He had actuall promised me a reply by April 6th... best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org)--GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C(o_ There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not //\ some day be applied to phenomena of the real world. --- Lobatchevsky V_/_ Die kürzeste Verbindung zwischen zwei Menschen ist ein Lächeln.
Bug#263358: minit: Minit not to be included in sarge, experimental packaging
Hi, There's of course the question whether it should be removed altogether since it's orphaned, but that's a different one, and I don't see a pressing reason for that (there are a handful of users and no bugs). A couple of installations doesn't mean they ever bothered to configure it. I think the package shouldn't be in unstable either, maybe experimental. The package is not fit for a wider audience; those that can really setup minit are able to grab it from experimental or build it themselves. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org)--GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C(o_ To be trusted is a greater complement than to be loved. //\ Ein Freund ist ein Geschenk, das man sich selbst macht.

The package is not fit for a wider audience; those that can really setup minit are able to grab it from experimental or build it themselves. Uploading a package without a maintainer to experimental doesn't make much sense. But if you think that's useful, I think it's best if you upload it there. So in any case it needs to be removed from unstable. Shall I or will you file a removal bug? Thijs signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The package is not fit for a wider audience; those that can really setup minit are able to grab it from experimental or build it themselves. As it stands, this package will move to testing. Do you really want that to happen? I think an RC bug about don't move to sarge should remain RC even after sarge released, unless someone agreeing to maintain the package explicitly states that it is ready to be included in whatever the upcoming stable release is, and right now, the package doesn't have a maintainer, so I think this bug should remain opened, and perhaps clone+severity+reassign+retitle for removal, no? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, I agree given that the previous maintainer thinks it even shouldn't be in unstable. If it's about to be removed it shouldn't progress.

Bug#263358: minit: Minit not to be included in sarge, experimental packaging
Hi, Since sarge has been released, do you think it would be time to close this bug and let the package flow into testing for possible release with etch? The package is not up to date, and I'm not using minit myself any longer. Therefore the package is RFA: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334178 And I probably should retitle that into orphan. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org)--GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C(o_ Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?

Bug#263358: minit: Minit not to be included in sarge, experimental packaging
Hello Erich, Minit should not be included in sarge. The packaging is experimental and i did not recieve any feedback yet. Since minit doesn't have any dependencies it can be installed from unstable on even a potato system easily. Since sarge has been released, do you think it would be time to close this bug and let the package flow into testing for possible release with etch?
