Bug#327662: very old package with RC bugs, should this be orphaned?
2005-09-11 (日) の 16:46 +0200 に Frank Lichtenheld さんは書きました: Package: dedit Version: 0.6.2.3 Severity: serious Hi. During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we begun to go through the list of the oldest packages in Debian that are not in testing (http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/oldest.html) to search for packages that should be either orphaned or removed completly from Debian (unstable and testing) since they have been obviously neglected by their maintainer. Your package did show up on this list and we propose to orphan the package. This software is no longer maintained. Should be removed, I think. -- Takuo KITAME -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: dedit Version: 0.6.2.3 Severity: serious Hi. During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we begun to go through the list of the oldest packages in Debian that are not in testing (http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/oldest.html) to search for packages that should be either orphaned or removed completly from Debian (unstable and testing) since they have been obviously neglected by their maintainer. Your package did show up on this list and we propose to orphan the package. This usually means that your package matched some of the following criteria: [1] Your packages has not had an upload for more than two 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. In your case the package is older than 4 years and you didn't answer to one of the gcc4 related bugs (which are now RC) for over 250 days. 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.
