The libtpproto-py package is a protocol library for the thousand parsec online game framework, but sadly development of the latter seems to have ceased - it appears there aren't even any active servers for it now. The last upstream release of libtpproto-py seems to be more than 5 years ago. I checked with "dak rm" which shows two remaining reverse dependency, tpclient-pywx and libtpclient-py, both of which I've just filed an RM bug for (#762315 and #762318, set as blocking this bug): Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: tpclient-pywx: tpclient-pywx # Broken Build-Depends: libtpclient-py: python-tp-netlib (>= 0.2.4) The removal was agreed by the maintainers in discussion in #759061: On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 07:05:58PM -0400, Barry deFreese wrote: > On 9/20/2014 12:54 AM, Olly Betts wrote: > > On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 03:39:08PM +0200, Markus Koschany wrote: > >> Indeed I think the client and the libraries for Thousand Parsec are good > >> removal candidates: > >> > >> According to http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp > >> > >> * Upstream forum is down > >> * Last posts on the mailing lists date back to 2010 > >> * No servers and players active > >> > >> If tpclient-pywx is removed from Debian, then there is no reason to keep > >> > >> https://packages.debian.org/src:libtpclient-py > >> > >> and > >> > >> https://packages.qa.debian.org/libt/libtpproto-py.html > >> > >> either. > > > > Barry deFreese is the only person listed in "Uploaders:" for these 3 > > packages - what are your thoughts on removing them, Barry? > > Unfortunately I am pretty inactive these days but I would say go ahead > and remove them.
