--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, please remove HAL from unstable/testing. It's no longer function on Linux due to [0] and should not be released with jessie (at least for linux-any). On !linux-any, hal is still used by Xorg, so we can't remove it just yet completely. While there is some progress to port xserver-xorg to devd [1] it's not clear if/when this work will be uploaded to unstable. So I at least want to make sure hal is not released with jessie on Linux and no longer available on sid. Once the package has been removed on jessie/sid, I'll make an upload marking the package kfreebsd-any / hurd-any. All reverse dependencies of hal on Linux have been notified for a long time [2], are RC buggy and thus removed from testing already.

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: hal | 0.5.14-8 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc libhal-dev | 0.5.14-8 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc libhal-storage-dev | 0.5.14-8 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc libhal-storage1 | 0.5.14-8 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc libhal1 | 0.5.14-8 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; rc-buggy, deprecated ---------------------------------------------- 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 and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall 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 Please check all open bugs and close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package was superseded by another one. The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected].
