Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: serious Tags: ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
MRS is an information retrieval system, used to index terabytes of text based databanks on a single machine. Mostly used in the medical and biological world. The version of MRS in currently in Debian is based on libzeep version 3. Libzeep was in fact a spin off project from MRS. I stopped development of MRS in 2012 when I switched to a new employer but I took libzeep with me. Since then, libzeep has evolved and changed a lot and now compatibility with MRS is broken. I've submitted the new version of libzeep into debian (it is currently in unstable) but now MRS no longer builds and so I request to remove it from Debian until it is updated. regards, -maarten
