Hi all, I was looking at the list of packages that are orphaned but don't have their maintainer set to QA[1]. First package on the list is messagewall, so I went looking for a new upstream (mentioned in #249840). I talked to the upstream ex-maintainer on freenode @ Fri Jun 16 22:56:24 +0800 2006:
<pabs3> hi, I'm doing some QA stuff for debian, and I was wondering what the status of messagewall is? I read in http://bugs.debian.org/249840 that version 1.09 is being worked on, is that the case? <flamingcow> no <flamingcow> the project is dead for more than 3 years <pabs3> ok. the debian maintainer has orphaned it. do you recommend that it be removed from debian? <flamingcow> i do, and have said so in #d-d before <pabs3> ok, I'll report this to the qa group, thanks <flamingcow> thanks No packages depend on, recommend or suggest messagewall (at least on i386). My questions to those who have submitted bugs against it (CCed): * Do you still use messagewall, or have you moved on to amavis or other mail filtering software? * If we removed it from debian, would you be able to migrate to some other software when etch is released? * Are there any features you specifically need it for? To debian-qa folks and the debian maintainer: What do we think about removing messagewall from debian? 1. http://qa.debian.org/orphaned.html -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
