Source: aewm++ Version: 1.1.2-5.3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Chris Boyle <[email protected]>, Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]>
Dear maintainer, I suggest removing aewm++ from Debian for the following reasons: * The last maintainer upload of this package was in 2016 followed by a sequence of 3 NMUs (thus it created work for people who do not have any specific interest in this package) * The number of votes in popcon https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=aewm++&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 (green line) was always low and is now down to 1 active user * The upstream repository was archived by the owner on Jan 5, 2023 last commit was 11 years ago. I do not think that the removal of this package is urgent but I will raise this bug to severity serious after the Trixi release to ensure either active maintenance or to make sure the package will not be released past Trixi. In case the package should be kept in Debian please close it in your next upload. Migrating the packaging to Salsa with this upload is highly recommended and I happily help with creating a repository. In case you agree and the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: aewm++ -- RoM; orphaned upstream, low popcon, outdated Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:aewm++ In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug. Control: tags -1 + wontfix Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards Andreas.
