Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal In November I requested that the monotone binary package be removed from unstable on alpha due to failure to build from source (bug #451171). It subsequently built successfully on alpha, so I closed that bug as moot. It has now become evident that the success was spurious -- there really are architecture-specific bugs (probably in gcc, not in monotone itself, but that's beside the point here) that prevent monotone from being useful on alpha for the foreseeable future.
Thus I request, again, that the monotone binary package for alpha, version 0.37-4, be removed from unstable. (I am filing a new bug rather than reopen #451171 because that bug has been archived.) To reiterate the reverse dependency analysis: - monotone-server is useless (and uninstallable) without monotone, but it is an arch:all package and will continue to be useful on other architectures. - monotone-viz has reduced functionality without monotone, but can be installed and used without it. - tailor and qct are high-level tools for working with any number of different VCSs. The non-presence of monotone on alpha will not render them uninstallable or unusable. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
