Source: jargon Version: 4.0.0-9 Severity: serious Justification: grab attention of potential new maintainer X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Package Salvaging Team <[email protected]>
Hi, I suggest removing jargon from Debian for the following reasons: * No maintainer * No upstream http://www.catb.org/jargon/download.html : "Also note that the info version has been phased out; it's an HTML world now." This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. If no real maintainer might pick up the task to modernise the package and possibly base it on the latest jargon database as suggested in bug #914542 it will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package. In case there will be no new maintainer in 31 days I will reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: jargon -- RoM; unmaintained, unsupported upstream Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:jargon In case you want to take over maintenance, please add a wontfix tag to this bug. Control: tags -1 + wontfix This 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 help newcomers become familiar with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards Andreas.
