package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal I am upstream and debian maintainer for the package fireflier.
Development of this software ended in November 2005, and I discontinued it officially on Feb, 2007. The popcon statistics (only listing server as client without server is useless): fireflier-server: Inst: 36 Vote: 6 Old: 28 Recent: 2 Apart from debian qa messages (FTBFS, 1 security issue, ...) I don't get any more mails regarding fireflier, so I can safely assume, that is used by _very few_ people. There are two FTBFS issues in fireflier currently, where the second can't be solved easily, as iptables-dev no longer includes libipq and I would have to use libnetfilter-queue-dev which uses different library names. Open Bugs (ignoring wishlist): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486981 As there are quite a few firewall tools in debian, and the impact will be low, it is the best solution to remove fireflier. Please remove the versions in: unstable experimental fireflier shall not be part of the upcoming debian release (lenny) This package has always been uploaded by my sponsor Rene Mayrhofer, who agrees to the removal. greetings Martin Maurer
