Hi!
One of my packages, tcng, is long dead upstream, and without upstream work
it goes less and less usable. Thus, a while ago I decided to RFA it,
intending to ask for removal if no one steps up before Wheezy. Someone
(Jakob Haufe) did in september, but I haven't heard from him since.
Due to an recent change in TeX, tcng started to FTBFS (#666336). The fix
here is trivial, but I don't know whether it wouldn't be better to just
proceed with asking for removal instead.
I asked the ITPer (bug trace: ##612930) whether he'll take it over soon,
take it over later but before Wheezy or not at all; I didn't get an answer.
It's been only five days, though.
Should I bother you with sponsoring an upload fixing the FTBFS (with the
package likely going away soon), file a RM immediately, or ignore it for
now? There's a yet another option, fixing the FTBFS and doing other minimal
life support so the few remaining users (32 popcon votes) can have it in
wheezy (tcng can't use any new improvements to netfilter, but old ways still
work) -- perhaps I could make a final upload now and not remove it until
after wheezy, looking if Jakob comes back?
Meow!
