Source: nini Severity: important Usertags: cli-common-removal Control: affects -1 src:cli-common
nini build-depends on cli-common, that has been orphaned for one full year: https://bugs.debian.org/1079871 As part of a clean-up task driven by the Mono Team (that is, myself alone), we are going to ask for the removal of cli-common from the archive soon. This would lead to the inability to build nini, and as a side-effect to its removal from the archive too. If cli-common is not really required to build nini, maybe a build-depend on mono-devel would be enough to keep that package building. Otherwise there is no real alternative outside of the removal of both cli-common and nini, or someone actually taking over the maintenance of cli-common (this is not going to happen unless you decide to adopt it yourself). If youâd like to keep providing nini in Debian, and as such need it to build-depend on mono-devel, you need to be aware that nothing is checked about mono-devel beside ensuring it actually builds: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Mono#Scope_of_Framework_Mono_maintenance If you need mono-devel to be a reliable build-dependency, you should consider joining the Mono Team to ensure it actually stays reliable,
