-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, Could you please remove the binary package jmol-applet from unstable? It is one of the four binary packages built from src:jmol. I am asking this on behalf of Debichem team, we have discussed this removal on the mailing list [0,1,2]. The main reasons are: - - upstream is not providing a working applet anymore; - - and indeed, we have been shipping a jmol-applet with no working applet inside for 5 years; - - the popcon score has been decreasing since then; - - the java Applet class is deprecated since Java 9; - - because of the applet part, jmol is going to FTBFS when OpenJDK 17 becomes the default in Debian (see bug #981989). jmol-appled has no reverse-dependencies, it was in the Suggests: field of chemical-structures but has now be removed from this field in unstable, and this will also be the case in testing in a few days. Thanks for your help on this, Best wishes, - -- Pierre Gruet [0] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/debichem-devel/2021-September/012755.html [1] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/debichem-devel/2021-September/012756.html [2] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/debichem-devel/2021-September/012760.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJDBAEBCgAtFiEEM8soQxPpC9J9y0UjYAMWptwndHYFAmFHj3QPHHBndEBkZWJp YW4ub3JnAAoJEGADFqbcJ3R2hVsP/Ay3uqYjJsg2mK17i4HhCVbvz8V6ogX/GaPy ICiovdF8Nn7AeUMbJy7NuHZpiEOabNwckPvb+nFMF4kwguiD4d0NMPW7cUm3AYbc QCRMG6K3A+9Xadno00w3qpPegMPdKswKQ5PgD0ijNC2bgDLRanONUQQNU7ec9QeV ZI6ueQdZYih3bJRDq27nEXQU70ka0/jt3kVugIJ0ZtOD03YjeKMUfz+mpsq5fqYw ReH++vhJkW/6VfLLsh4pzpibIi4IEEOTjamjUXzdOiuf+vJUbIrF0O6OE2vibnVp RAMUQfNM5B2EGOZPQ6AdW0xtwITjCmiXVpgVmZKg6Lkec2Y9VW9cpJSgj0Xokwl+ UUSbiLdmvSirzwHHIyBGhfAUU/6zRI1fnoAmdC7n2Nf7x7+Vvcv7SSLhWiWmO4G0 AIa7F9Te6Zn6JkzDOXRT+h0r7HXk2Xz258pFQLvzvQ9V0SL6a+TOBuips9r7kbAu pJuOYAPsTxQrcWpHH0/NQSdlSbjMY8qsrIL41PfDbMHs8qtDA/P7iXEgXr9GOekh 8Nscvc9wvFOzeuz9ckE/IBuwhqj1cEkRWd4DzlPeraOJ0tMhSVjr6urf+6fITtQA OhfoqJpcCFSU2rlH3Qd23YU68HSri6CHlvplkx1lxYz/4sDUV6x1BGpAphcy0y+n oDP4YLzM =cLA/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
