Package: jenkins-htmlunit Severity: normal User: pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs libcommons-httpclient-java
Hi, jenkins-htmlunit depends on libcommons-httpclient-java, which is obsolete and was replaced by libhttpclient-java. It has reached EOL status in 2011! It is no longer supported upstream [1] and was affected by multiple security issues in the recent past. jenkins-htmlunit should be ported to the new libhttpclient-java version, so that we can remove the old, unmaintained one. Please forward this issue upstream, if you can't migrate the package yourself. We would like to see libcommons-httpclient-java removed during the Stretch release cycle but due to the large number of reverse-dependencies the outcome depends more than ever on your help. Please help us to accomplish this goal. We will bump this issue to important when the list of rdeps is getting smaller and we think that the removal is possible. We will eventually raise the severity to serious when the number of rdeps is small. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and contact us on debian-j...@list.debian.org Regards, Markus [1] https://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/ [2] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/commons-httpclient __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
