2003-09-27 Thread Steve Langasek
reassign 206490 ftp.debian.org
retitle 206490 Please remove bnc from the archive
thanks

The bnc package has been orphaned for a month; has been FTBFS since
April; has attracted no real interest other than QA volunteers; and has
a functional replacement in the dircproxy.  Please remove this package
from the archive.

Bug#206490: O: bnc

2003-08-20 Thread Steve Langasek
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-20
Severity: normal

There is a serious lack of interest in the FTBFS bug currently open
against this package.  The current maintainer, Brian Ristuccia, has
indicated he now uses dircproxy in place of bnc.  He also expressed
interest in finding an adopter rather than orphaning it outright, but no
progress has been made in that area and the package is effectively
unmaintained.  With this message, I am therefore declaring this package
to be orphaned.  If no one steps forward to adopt it, I recommend this
package be removed from the archive.
