Orphaned packages that were not part of etch, take 2

Hi, I intend to file a new round of removal requests from testing for packages that were not part of etch and are orphaned: bcm5700-source - #494707 chdrv - #503522 darksnow - #497141 ikvm - #466336 libvisual-projectm - #494502 nautilus-share - #501938 php-openid - #501946 qtparted - #482400 sparkline-php - #483252 xar - #446003 Except for qtparted the popcon numbers are all pretty low. Joey had concerns against the removal of sparkline-php in July. Popcon lists 5 installations, so I'd propose to remove it. Joey?

It would make ikiwiki buggy by causing it to suggest a package that is not in the distribution, and by removing one of its features. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

There's still the openid momentum and there is (are?) some packages in mentors that depend on it. The current version in the archive is not the latest and greatest one, and it definitely needs a maintainer (it is an auth package afterall), though.

Perhaps the people who are packaging stuff that depends on it could adopt it, would you be able to ping them about it? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Wow, that was fast (and had no need to write an extra email pinging anybody :). Thanks Jan for adopting it. Cristoph: so, can php-openid be reconsidered? looks like there's no reason to keep it out of lenny. > > Hauke Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert - Debian Maintainer www.debian.org - get.debian.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
