Bug#274472: Let's remove moria
Hello Andrew! Andrew Pollock [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Given that moria is in non-free, This is no reason for dropping. We should also support non-free software in Debian. orphaned, But it is in good shape at newest upstream version with no bugs. Only Standards-Version should be updated. only a game, We need as much games as possible in Debian, even if they are textbased, I think. and hasn't had an upload in yonks, No new upstream version is available since last upload. I reckon we should remove it. Why? You will only save some disk space on mirrors. It is orphaned for 40 days only. Please give other maintainers some more time to take it. There are other packages in really bad shape that should be removed firstly. Perhaps Rene Weber, who was back from MIA in summer, is interested in taking it back. He wrote me in June, because he tried to get back as much of his old packages as possible. But I'm suprized that his devloper page on q.d.o shows only moria, that is orphaned. Is he on MIA again?

Indeed, nor do I expect there ever to be another one (though it's possible). Perhaps Rene Weber, who was back from MIA in summer, is interested in taking it back.

No, but I'm transitioning e-mail addresses. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is on the way out, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the future (unfortunately, this is too long for the DDPO web form, so you have to search by my full name instead, which will show my other packages). I decided not to take moria back because I'm already overextended, it's non-free, and I'm not a good candidate since I haven't played it in quite a while. On the other hand, it only requires minimal effort to maintain, so I would consider adopting it again if it's going to be deleted. I haven't decided what I'm going to do about that yet. Rene
