reassign 585024 ftp.debian.org retitle 585024 RM: libdownload -- RoQA; library with no rdepends, abandoned upstream severity 585024 normal thanks
libdownload, a fork of libfetch, was packaged in Debian as a prerequisite for
pacman-package-manager, which hasn't yet been uploaded (it doesn't seem to be
in the NEW queue either).
However, Pacman now uses (a later version of?) the original libfetch, making
libdownload unnecessary. Since libdownload's upstream developers were the
Pacman developers, it now lacks an upstream; nothing in Debian depends on it
and it has a low popcon (17 installations and no votes), so I think it should
go.
The proposed-removal bug hasn't had any response for a month, but in case
it was overlooked, I've cc'd the maintainer and the sponsor of the upload to
Debian.
Regards,
Simon
