TTBOMK, no other remote desktop client has the amount of functionality tsclient provides, so that explains the high popcon. If it’s possible security-wise, I think it would be better to keep it in stable. -- .''`.

[SRM] (PRSC) Possible removal of tsclient from stable
Hi, tsclient was removed from unstable recently: it has two CVE reports pending and no upstream. The rationale was that a suitable replacement, remmina, is in the archive. Since remmina is also in stable, I propose to remove tsclient from stable too, which gets these security problems out of the way. Before filing a removal bug, I'd like opinions from SRM and the package maintainers. Thanks, with his PRSC hat on: -- Jonathan Wiltshire j...@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Before filing a removal bug, I'd like opinions from SRM and the package maintainers. The bug report for the CVEs says they are not important enough to warrant a security update (just a point release update), so I'm not sure that's really required. I wouldn't oppose it though, as I was the one requesting its removal. Cheers, Emilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
