--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:spek I would like to request the removal of a package I maintain, spek, because it doesn't build with the latest version of ffmpeg, on which it depends, and because it doesn't look like upstream is interested in keeping the project alive. If you browse both the GitHub issues page and pull requests one, you'll see many unanswered questions and proposals, some dating back to 2017. https://github.com/alexkay/spek/ The last commit was by me and it's a patch to fix build failure with GCC-13 on Debian. It's from two years ago. I don't think upstream is really dead, but he probably doesn't have enough time to keep the project up to date to Debian quality standards. Besides, there is already SoX in Debian, which can make a spectrogram from an audio file. Granted, SoX has no GUI, it's just a command line program. However Spek is just a GUI with an audio file spectrogram inside and, since audio file spectrograms are kind of a niche/expert need, I think it's safe to say that who wants them will both be able and willing to type $ sox music.flac -n spectrogram That's all I had to write to support my case. Thank you very much. -- Matteo Bini

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: spek | 0.8.5+dfsg-5.1 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; it doesn't build, no activity since 2023 and similar package already in Debian ---------------------------------------------- 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/1115087 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
