Source: sooperlooper
Version: 1.7.3~dfsg0-3
Severity: normal

I think it's time to remove the sooperlooper package:

* last upstream release was nearly 5 years ago
* last package update was more than 2.5 years ago
* has low popcon - inst:223 vote:20
* has no reverse dependencies (according to dak rm)
* 4 open bugs, only the one from 2010 has any maintainer response
* a blocker for the current wxwidgets3.0-gtk3 transition.

If there are no objections within two weeks, I'll turn this into an RM
bug.

Cheers,
    Olly

OK, I've closed that one.

I've cc-ed the submitter to see if they can (note that the BTS doesn't
automatically send replies to the submitter).

Hmm, and it was also marked as fixed by one of the maintainers 6 years
ago:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596392;msg=43

I assume they failed to notice that setting a fixed version doesn't
close the bug.  Now closed.

No, that still says "libwxgtk3.0-dev" - it needs to be changed to
"libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev" for the transition.

Yes, that would be good.  And thanks for helping to deal with the bug
backlog.

OK - I won't push for removal from Debian.  Closing this bug.

The lack of any evidence of an active maintainer for the Debian package
still seems problematic, unless you and/or Nicolas are part of the
Debian Multimedia Maintainers team?

Also note that the package will get autoremoved from testing unless the
maintainers take action since the wxwidgets transition bugs are now RC
(but it'll automatically return if/when it's updated for the
transition).

Cheers,
    Olly
