If someone intends to package owncloud-files-irods in Debian, of course
it would be useful to keep php-irods-prods in the archive. In the mean
time, I still advocate keeping this RC bug open to prevent migration to
testing.

Since there has only been a very low activity on files_irods upstream
(only 4 commits, the last one being almost a year ago), I’m not sure
it’s currently realistic to see it packaged in the near future.

If the status doesn’t change until Stretch gets released, I would
probably advocate a removal from the archive, but we can delay such
decision until then.

David
