This package still works, and there are still a small number of potentially relevant users, but I agree that there is no need to keep it in Debian. Please remove the pc532down package from the archive. Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#328840: very old package, should this be removed?
Package: pc532down Version: 1.1-9 Severity: serious Hi, During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we decided that looking at packages that haven't been uploaded for a very long time could cover up some QA problems. I've done this now and your package showed up on the list. I propose to remove it. It has, according to popcon, no users at all. Do we really need it in etch? This usually means that your package matched some of the following criteria: [1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than three years. [2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**) [3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you might be MIA [4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than 100 users with the package installed. [5] the package was not released with sarge and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true. (**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed more than one month before the time the check was performed. After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it). The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to proceed. Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel responsible for their packages without needing other people to force them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users. Thanks!
