Upstream decided that those specific subpackages are now absolete and will not be maintained anymore, so they were dropped on Debian as well. > I'm sadly just the messenger as I noticed that ruby-gnome2 cannot > migrate because of this and that the packages were dropped without > properly communicating the issue (i.e. filing bugs). My bad, I should really have filled bugs after uploading ruby-gnome2. Thanks Philipp for doing that. But it is important to note that this was explicitly communicated to all affected maintainers one month ago: http://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2011/07/msg00049.html That message contained all the whats, whys and hows, but unfortunately we only got a reply for 1 out of the 5 affected packages. -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
