Bug#655444: [DRE-maint] Bug#655444: migrate libmmap-ruby to gem2deb based packaging
Hey all, libmmap-ruby is a package that seemed to have the highest urgency for the gem2deb transition, as it has a very high popcon score. However, the transition gave a lot of troubles: upstream has been gone for over 6 years, tests fail, it doesn't work for Ruby 1.9.1. Praveen has tried to fix it but got stuck, the same holds for me.

I also wonder why mmap has such a high popcon, as it has no reverse depends at all. We just figured out that the high popcon is due to the high popcon of libruby-extras (the have the same installation statistics and graph), which used to depend on it in Squeeze. I expect that the package is actually not used at all, so I would like to drop the package completely. If some application comes up that needs some mmap library (there are others nowadays), we'll have a look at these. Any objections? Paul P.S. Sorry Pavreen, your work will get lost, but the archive is better for it. :) -- Using the Power of Debian GNU/Linux | E-mail: pau...@debian.org Jabber/GTalk: p...@luon.net | GnuPG key ID: 0x50064181 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi! Sorry that it took me so long to get back to your mail.

I also wonder why mmap has such a high popcon, as it has no reverse depends at all. Maybe we should look for a different implementation and drop this package? The fact that the mmap modify-test fails, worries me a bit. The fact that it doesn't work for Ruby 1.9.x also doesn't help!

Didn't notice it :( There are however build/test problems with Ruby 1.9.1 that I couldn't solve at the moment and I had no time to follow up on it.
