Package: wnpp
I'm orphaning skencil due to lack of interest in this package.
This package is, from the debian point of view, in good shape and is
pretty easy, makes it ideal for any New Maintainer. In case a non-DD
maintainer wants to take this package over, I'll offer to sponsor it.
However, skencils upstream has disappeared two years ago and skencil
definitely needs some love upstream wise. Any potential taker should
therefore like to work with tcl/tk. Upstream did start porting to gtk at
some point, however, that disappeared as well.
If there is no new maintainer within about a month, I'm going to
request its removal.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
skencil | 0.6.17-17 | source
skencil | 0.6.17-17+b1 | alpha, amd64, hppa, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
skencil | 0.6.17-17+b2 | armel, ia64
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; orphaned, dead upstream
----------------------------------------------
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was superseded by another one.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].

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
