Hi. While going through golang-* packages that fail on https://reproduce.debian.net/all/stats/unstable/ I noticed the 'notary' package and this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1117794 As far as I can tell, there are no longer any reverse dependencies of this package in Debian (see below). Upstream has discussion about deprecating the project: https://github.com/notaryproject/notary/issues/1709 Looks like their main concern was reverse build dependencies, but at least from Debian's point of view, that is no longer an issue. Any objections to finally remove 'notary' from Debian? I believe that leaving packages in 'unstable' but keep them out of testing is a reasonable thing to do, since you never know when a golang-*-dev package may become needed as a build dependency in the future, but I think that for this package, we actively don't want that to happen. /Simon jas@frallan:~$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn notary Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-github-docker-notary-dev | 0.7.0+git20240416.9d2b3b3+ds1-5 | all notary | 0.7.0+git20240416.9d2b3b3+ds1-5 | source notary | 0.7.0+git20240416.9d2b3b3+ds1-5+b1 | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, loong64, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies...
