--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important Hi, We recently found out there is an issue with the license of one of xow's files, upstream discussion is available here: https://github.com/medusalix/xow/issues/15#issuecomment-602301493 The bulk of it is that upstream has a third party binary blob with unknown license, which upstream previously thought had a DFSG compliant one. I'm asking for the removal of the package until the issue is resolved, when that happens I will submit the package to NEW once again. This is a non-free package which is not on testing and it's not whitelisted on our build infrastructure. Although upstream still has the file and lists the wrong license, I'm being cautious here and asking for the removal because it's a confirmed issue. $ dak rm -Rn xow Will remove the following packages from unstable: xow | 0.3-3 | source Maintainer: Samuel Henrique <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... No dependency problem found. Thanks -- Samuel Henrique <samueloph>

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: xow | 0.3-3 | source ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; licensing issue ---------------------------------------------- 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]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/954876 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
