Source: gross Version: 1.0.2-4.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Antonio Radici <[email protected]>, Antti Salmela <[email protected]>, Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]>, Davide Prina <[email protected]>, Dmitry Mikhirev <[email protected]>
Dear maintainer, I suggest removing gross from Debian for the following reasons: * The upstream situation is somehow unclear as discussed in bug #981690 The bug points to a github repository which points to some older clone than the code.google.com repository. There is a hint to some fork at codeberg but it was also hinted (Message #15) that critizised many changes with minimal commit messages and no explanations why changes are needed. * Even with this for it shows build issues as can be seen in Salsa CI https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gross/-/jobs/6861083 * The number of votes in popcon is very low https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=gross&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 * Its a leaf package with no rdepends nor rbuild-depends This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package. In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate at least the bugs of severity important. Bug #1096781 will become serious after Trixie release so should be fixed in any case. Please carefully review the codebase of the new upstream version. Once all these bugs have been acted upon in one way or another, please close this bug. In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: gross -- RoQA; orphaned upstream, fork not verified, very low usage stats Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:gross Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned. 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.
