RFS: kino (NMU) fixes 2 goal for lenny bashism and piuparts warning
Hi, kino - Non-linear editor for Digital Video data The upload would fix these bugs: 455021, 489619 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kino - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kino/kino_1.3.0-2.1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

As former NM, I'd advise Cc-ing the RFS to the package maintainers. Some will veto the NMU, and it's better if they do so in reply to the RFS than only on the bugs, since that can lead to miscoordination. Some will ACK the NMU in advance, which means that possible sponsors might be more enclined to upload the NMU. Some will even sponsor the NMU themselves. In piem's case, I've been sponsoring his own packages since he had GPG troubles. AFAICT, that's being resolved (he got a new key signed last week), so I'd suggest coordinating with him before uploading. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Ok, I agree, thanks for the advice, in the future I'll Cc also the maintainer and not only in the bug report...

Orphaned packages that were not part of etch
Hi. I've compiled a list of orphaned packages that were not part of etch (and, unless otherwise noted, were not part of sarge). I think it would be a good idea to remove some of them (at least from testing) before lenny's release. Including a package in a stable release gives it much more weight and it usually survives longer in the archive even if it only bitrots. So removing unneccessary packages now would be a good idea IMHO. popcon stats are given in the order inst/vote/old/recent/nofiles, for packaes with multiple binary packages I list only the most used one (adding the numbers usually makes no sense because of the inner dependencies). And now the list and my proposal for handling each package: cryopid: popcon 233/23/203/7/0, RC bug, no rdepends -> keep in unstable hg-buildpackage: popcon 82/9/63/10/0, no rdepends -> keep in unstable ikvm: popcon 112/25/38/47/2, new upstream, rdepends: monodevelop-java -> prod monodevelop-java maintainer, keep in lenny karchiver: popcon 288/88/167/33/0, upstream dead, no rdepends -> keep in unstable krecordmydesktop: popcon 159/32/75/52/0, new upstream, no rdepends -> keep in unstable kxgenerator: popcon 247/63/155/29/0, upstream dead, no rdepends -> keep in unstable lhapdf: popcon 148/8/135/5/0, new upstream, no rdepends (library) -> remove libipod: popcon 111/6/94/11/0, no rdepends (library) -> remove libsvg: popcon 602/8/35/4/555, no rdepends (library) -> remove meep: popcon 24/4/20/0/0, new upstream, no rdepends -> remove metastore: popcon 114/37/35/42/0, no rdepends -> keep in lenny oo2c: popcon 12/4/7/1/0, no rdepends, was part of oldstable -> remove pgpool2: popcon 9/7/1/1/0, new upstream, no rdepends -> remove qtparted: popcon 610/64/304/241/1, RC bug, no rdepends -> keep in unstable randim: popcon 37/8/29/0/0, no rdepends -> remove shunit2: popcon 27/0/0/0/27, new upstream, no rdepends -> remove sparkline-php: popcon 4/2/2/0/0, new upstream, no rdepends -> remove uspp: popcon 13/0/0/0/13, no rdepends (python library) -> remove xwatchwin: 63/8/54/1/0, upstream dead, no rdepends -> remove motv: popcon 89/19/44/25/1, contrib, has problems with autobuilds due to non-free build-dep, no rdepends, was part of oldstable -> remove openmotif: popcon 782/90/347/32/313, looong orphaned, non-free, RC bug, rdepends: arb, motv, was part of oldstable -> keep in unstable, prod arb maintainer, remove motv xslideshow: popcon 64/16/42/6/0, non-free, upstream dead, no rdepends, was part of oldstable -> remove Comments, objections?

There is no bug in it and it seems up-to-date.

For those packages in testing, maybe file removal bugs asking for removal in a week, if until then noone jumps in to maintain them? Normally I would suggest to remove them now, as they can be reintroduced easily. With the freeze coming up, it seems fair not to give them the burden^wfun of NEW now :) regards, Holger pgpuLW3AVCagF.pgp Description: PGP signature

But why would we want to take up archive space for a library that nothing uses? Removal seems reasonable to me.

Re: Orphaned packages that were not part of etch
Some of these packages were orphaned within the past month. I don't feel such packages should be removed from testing; people may just not have reacted to the orphaning yet.

It can be needed in some edge cases with etckeeper (restoring historical versions of /etc from old etckeeper installations that used metastore).

The former version of arb had serious trouble with lesstif - so the dependency upon openmotif is rectified. The popcon stat is actually not really low. So I would volunteer to fix the RC bug and have a look at this package in case that there is a chance to keep this in.

But in general I think the cost of adding superfluous packages to a stable release is higher than uploading a backport. And let me stress the fact that the QA group currently "maintains" over 500 fucking packages. And as one of the few people actually doing QA uploads I can honestly say I feel the pain. > Frank Lichtenheld wrote: > > cryopid: popcon 233/23/203/7/0, RC bug, no rdepends > > -> keep in unstable > > This seems potentially insanely useful. > > It also seems to be maintained by Christoph Berg as of 0.5.9.1-4.

Can't be that important given the popcon numbers (especially if you compare them with ikiwikis numbers). If you still care about the package, maybe you should consider a RFA instead of orphaning? But I will certainly not request to remove it against your objections.

Yeah, I actually find the popcon count astoundingly high, I suppose there are some 3rd party apps out there that use it.
