I'm getting more aggressive as time goes on. All of these have RC bugs which affect the package in Sarge and have been open since at least January. I ignored patched and pending bugs, although I'll probably send a different message to a different list asking for NMUs of those. I also ignored bugs in some packages which can't reasonably be removed (like glibc, util-linux, ssh...) :-(
Some of these expose, uh, "non-technical" problems preventing fixed versions from going in, but I can't say what to do about those; only that the current versions are not OK for release, and will probably release if they aren't removed. :-P Of course, it's also possible that some of these bugs shouldn't be release-critical; I leave it to debian-release to decide if some of these should be downgraded (I didn't think so). remove atmelwlandriver/2.1.1-3.3 #229159, maintainer apparently doesn't have time to work on it. Also 205419, 210559, 214775, 207182,... Three consecutive NMUs, too. remove dict-jargon/4.4.4-4 FTBFS (#229435). Eventually it will be fixed and it can go in again, of course. remove dovecot/0.99.10.4-2 #225048 (data loss). remove drivel/0.9.1-4 #226492. There's a packaged new upstream version, and if someone will sponsor an upload, it will be fixed, but in the meantime.... remove gkrellongrun/0.6.1-2.2 #190882 (doesn't work) remove kronolith/1.1-1 #227461 remove cal3d/0.9-1.3 library packaged without proper soname (#213588) remove libpng-dylan/2.3.10-4 #221074 (FTBFS), ignored by maintainer also #238928, which makes it unreleasable remove gnome-db2/0.12.1-2 #228893 remove mirrormagic/2.0.2-3 #229747 remove pointless/0.4-3 #221342 (latex2html, maintainer not doing anything) remove sendmail/8.13.11.Beta0-1 #227464 (doesn't respect DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive or use debconf) Also #232664 remove zope/2.6.4-1 #222443 That is all. (xemacs21 would be on this list, but the last versions in sarge actually don't have any of the current RC bugs. Which is a sort of victory for the 'testing' scripts. Of course, this is because no version has gotten into 'testing' since woody....) -- Make sure your vote will count. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/
