Hi Mark, I believe bloksi can be removed from debian archives w/ little prejudice for anyone.
Thx for contributing to Debian, Etienne On Sat, Sep 17, 2005 at 03:16:20PM +0200, Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt wrote: # Package: bloksi # Version: 0.0.2001.07.13-1 # Severity: serious # # Hi, # # During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we # decided that looking at packages that haven't been uploaded for a very # long time could cover up some QA problems. # # I've done this now and your package showed up on the list. I propose # to remove it. # The package has very few users and is only a Perl rewrite of the Glotski # game. It also depends on the obsolete libgnome-perl. # # This usually means that your package matched some of the following # criteria: # # [1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than # three years. # # [2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**) # # [3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you # might be MIA # # [4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than # 100 users with the package installed. # # [5] the package was not released with sarge # # and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true. # # (**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed # more than one month before the time the check was performed. # # After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign # this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or # ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it). # # The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to # proceed. # # Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't # help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel # responsible for their packages without needing other people to force # them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing # the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users. # # Thanks! # # Marc # # -- Etienne Grossmann ------ http://www.cs.uky.edu/~etienne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
