I have scheduled the binNMUs sometimes ago, and upgraded a few bugs to RC when the build failed. I have also asked for packages removal for really buggy and unmaintained packages (thanks to the ftpmasters for the quick removals). We now have a much better situation: stretch ------- masqmail_0.2.30-1 (sid version buggy) mutextrace_0.1-1 (sid version buggy) stun_0.96.dfsg-6 (sid version buggy) teem_1.11.0~svn5226-1 (sid version buggy) sid --- argus-client_2.0.6.fixes.1-3 (FTBFS #800260) apf_0.8.4-1 (FTBFS #803889) bing_1.1.3-2 (FTBFS #800300) cone_0.89-1 (FTBFS #804334) cuba_3.0+20111124-2 (FTBFS #791516) icebreaker_1.21-11 (FTBFS #800281) icmpush_2.2-6 (FTBFS #800282) ipkungfu_0.6.1-6 (bd-uninstallable #733693) isakmpd_20041012-7.2 (FTBFS #749354) kcc_2.3-12 (FTBFS #800251) libprinterconf_0.5-12 (FTBFS #808622) nget_0.27.1-11 (FTBFS #746885) sslscan_1.8.2-2 (FTBFS #804616) wmpinboard_1.0-11 (FTBFS #800193) The 4 remaining packages in stretch have the wrong linker path, but the fixed version in sid can't migrate as the packages have RC bugs. I guess we should binNMU them in stretch. Most of the packages in sid should probably be removed from the archive. I don't plan to do any NMU there as it would show I have some interest in the packages, which I don't. It's probably better to wait a bit more to make sure nobody has any interest and ask for their removal in a few months. Anyway they aren't really a problem from the libc point of view, as they won't be released with stretch. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
