Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal As per #959981, Chef packages in Debian have trademark issues according to their upstream.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959981 The claims are questionable, are argued by Steve Langasek in a corresponding Ubuntu bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/chef/+bug/1877462 However, Chef Inc. decided that Chef should no longer be free software/open source. I no longer intend to use or maintain Chef, and would like it to be removed from Debian. There is a "community fork" called Cinc (Cinc is not Chef). If someone feels like maintaining that in Debian they are free to do it. I however have no intention of doing so. dak says this: $ dak rm -Rn chef Will remove the following packages from unstable: chef | 15.8.25.3.gcf41df6a2-6 | source, all chef-bin | 15.8.25.3.gcf41df6a2-6 | all ruby-chef-config | 15.8.25.3.gcf41df6a2-6 | all ruby-chef-utils | 15.8.25.3.gcf41df6a2-6 | all Maintainer: Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers <pkg-ruby-extras-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: ohai: ohai ruby-knife-acl: ruby-knife-acl # Broken Build-Depends: ohai: ruby-chef-config (>= 15) ruby-knife-acl and ohai are part of the Chef ecosystem, and both have circular dependencies with chef.
