The wxWidgets transition bugs are now RC, so in addition the package is
RC-buggy and marked for AUTORM from testing on 2019-10-19.

I've had no response at all so going ahead.

Bug#941177: stx-btree: Should stx-btree be removed from Debian?

2019-09-25 Thread Olly Betts
Source: stx-btree
Version: 0.9-2
Severity: normal

I think it's time to remove the stx-btree package:

* Upstream have declared the project obsolete -
  http://panthema.net/2007/stx-btree/ says: "The STX B+ Tree package is
  now obsolete (2019), because an improved version with better STL
  semantics is contained the new TLX library of C++ containers and
  algorithms."
* has really low popcon - inst:7 vote:1
* has no reverse dependencies (according to dak rm)
* last maintainer upload was over 4 years ago
* I had to NMU for the last wxWidgets transition 5 years ago, and
  it's now a blocker for the current wxwidgets3.0-gtk3 transition.

If there are no objections within two weeks, I'll turn this into an RM
bug.

Cheers,
Olly
