Control: tag -1 = confirmed Thanks for reminding me about this bug, tobi! I guess a lot has been happening since February of 2020....

I am now of the opinion that although I had the best of intentions and (at the time) logical reasons for doing so, packaging a Snap is an inherently bad and problematic concept. So, I agree with you. :) > I agree with Olek, Ember (and friends) were always hard to keep floating in > Debian, so I can > understand Oleks' sentiment about maybe using snap… However this can be done > by the > users themselves, there is no need to have a debian package doing so. Yes... But I got SOOOO much great packaging experience from that! ;) In all seriousness: yes, I agree, a user can install a Snap and it's a waste of time for package maintainers to do so. > So, maybe, it is time to let ember go and remove it from Debian? I'd really hate to see that happen but if the code isn't in a stable state soon then I'm not sure there will be much of a choice. I've reached out to upstream to inquire about the timeline. Depending on that response, I'll decide how to move forward. The Ember client hasn't seen a release since November 2019 and the Cyphesis server hasn't been released since October 2013. A lot has changed since then and neither of those releases is maintainable at this point. Either way, I've marked this bug confirmed because I now fundamentally agree with the issue. > It has no reverse dependencies, so it is save to do so. > > I'll reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org in 3 months, if there is no veto > in this bug. Let's try to figure this out sooner. :) -Olek
