Package: gnochm
Version: 0.9.11-3
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: oldlibs libgtkhtml2
gnochm currently still uses libgtkhtml2, either directly or through
the Python bindings. However, libgtkhtml2 is not really maintained
upstream. After being in maintenance mode since 2005, it has not seen
any new release for 2 years now.
Iâd like to remove libgtkhtml2 packages before the squeeze release.
This can only be done by getting rid of as much as possible of the
reverse dependencies.
For this to happen, the packages have to be migrated to another HTML
rendering engine. There is gtkhtml3 of course, and now there is
webkit, which is superior in terms of features and not too far from
libgtkhtml2 in terms of API.
I suggest that you migrate gnochm as soon as possible to use webkit
for rendering. For most packages, which use libgtkhtml2 in a simple
way, porting should be trivial - and even more so for those written
in Python.
As for bindings, they donât have any reverse dependencies except
for the Python ones, so they should simply be removed ASAP, or drop
libgtkhtml2 support.
Thanks,

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
gnochm | 0.9.11-3 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; dead upstream, has replacement
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
