Bug#812818: should dipy be removeed from debian?

2016-01-26 Thread Mattia Rizzolo
Source: dipy
Severity: serious


Dear dipy maintainer,
I know this may sound a bit harsh and premature, but I'm concerned by
the state of dipy in Debian.
The package is currently uninstallable due to the removal of a
dependency (that has been deprecated for 5 years now), and  it's
unbuildable since more than 6 months (and the maintainers are aware of
it, as you can see in #785991#12).
A new upstream release since more or less that time.

From my restricted point of view there is no activity around it (I at
least se no changes in the public VCS).

As of now there are 2 RC bugs, the package is not in testing, there are
no reverse (build-)dependencies and the the popcon is resonably low.

Please, can you consider maintaining the package?  Keeping an unusable
thing in the archive is not going to help our users in any way.
