Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
I've now removed EVMS from the last of my machines. The package was a good idea in its time, but sadly has been neglected by upstream over the last five years or so, and there's currently little hope that upstream development will ever resume unless someone else than IBM takes up the challenge. The package still works, and there are no RC bugs. It should be in reasonable shape except for that. If nobody steps up to maintain this, I'll request removal from the archive in a week, so we won't be burdened by another package for lenny. The package description is: The EVMS project provides unparalleled flexibility and extensibility in managing storage. This project represents a new approach to logical volume management. The architecture introduces a plug-in model that allows for easy expansion or customization of various levels of volume management. . In order to make full use of it, you must use a kernel which includes the EVMS patch, available in the kernel-patch-evms package. . This package contains core infrastructure for EVMS, and the utilities evms_rediscover, evms_devnode_fixup, evms_info_level, evms_metadata_backup and evms_metadata_restore. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.4 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
