Package: golang-godebiancontrol-dev
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: Michael Stapelberg <[email protected]>
Hi!
I was reviewing old unused golang packages in Debian that have no
reverse dependency [1] and came across this package:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-godebiancontrol-dev
The upstream code is from 2014 and the package has no reverse dependency
in Debian. According to upstream homepage it says:
Maintenance mode
Note that new projects should prefer to use
https://pault.ag/go/debian instead of this package.
Therefor I don't feel we should ship this package in forky/testing. I'm
opening this bug to trigger testing removal after one week, and open up
for discussion. I think we could eventually file a ftp-master RM bug
for this, unless there are objections.
What do you think?

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
golang-godebiancontrol-dev | 0.0~git20140119-2.1 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROTeamM; unmaintained and unused
----------------------------------------------
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].
