Package: src:pycra
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer,

pycra seems to be unmaintained with the last upload 10 (!) years ago,
despite it has several bugs reported against it. Additionally, upstream
disappeared and there seems to be better alternatives available.

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600782#28 the
upstream author indicates 2010 that "At the moment I'm not even using
pyCA myself anymore.", indicating the dead-upstream thing. (the
reference in the mail is no longer there, the domain has been grabbed
by some domain grabber and now has advertisiment for gambling)

There are no r-depends on the pacakge and popcon is low.

This makes me wonder if we should retire this package.

If you don't think so, just close this bug.

If you also think so, just reassign it to the ftp.debian.org pseudo
package.

If there is no answer, I will reassing the bug in exactly 3 months.

Thanks!

tobi

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

      pyca | 20031119-0.1 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA, unmaintained, 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 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.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
