Since the game server will be shut down by mid 2019 and that this removal
proposal received no response in the last 10 months, I will submit a removal
request to FTP Masters right away.

Bug#900184: holdingnuts: Please consider removing package holdingnuts from Debian

2018-05-27 Thread Boyuan Yang
Source: holdingnuts
Version: 0.0.5-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Package holdingnuts in Debian hasn't seen any uploads for 5 years and is
suffered by Qt4's removal [1]. Its upstream author has made it clear that the
Qt5 port will never happen and he will not develop holdingnuts anymore,
according to author's words in downstream Ubuntu bug [2].

Now that this package will die sooner or later, please consider filing RM bug
to remove this package from Debian so that we could move one step forward in
the complete Qt4 removal effort as described in [1].
