Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: ftp.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: aby...@packages.debian.org, debian-python@lists.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:abydos Control: block 1094631 by -1
abydos was packaged as a dependency of (python3-)textdistance, but textdistance has dropped the dependency. abydos has not had any communication from its maintainer since December 2022, and no commits for about 5 years. It now has an FTBFS bug against it with the numpy 2.0 transition; it would be trivial to fix, but it's a good reminder that it's probably no longer needed in Debian. It also ranks very low on the popcon ratings. So I'm requesting removal of this package. Best wishes, Julian
