Does it have a sensible upgrade path to request-tracker-3?  If so, I'd say
cut it loose, since nobody seems to really give a crap about it.  Otherwise,
I'd call it a maybe - moreso if the bugs in it are nasty ones.  There's a
new major version upstream, and if nobody's willing to fix the problems, and
they're going to cause serious damage, it's probably time for it to go
bye-bye.

jaq and dopey were planning on cleaning up this package, but I haven't
seen any progress since July.  Jaq?

I lack the time and the commitment to do it, and I believe Matt feels the
same.  I think it would have been an interesting challenge, but right now
I think removal is the way to go.

We did not release request-tracker with woody it seems.

Should libfltk1 be removed?

2003-11-18 Thread Peter Palfrader
Hi,

libfltk1 is orphaned, is in oldlibs, and only one package still depends
on it (if I'm not mistaken).

Juan, any chance you can rebuild pose against fltk1.1 in the near future
so fltk is not needed at all anymore?

Could use some web page listing how to report DD MIA

2003-11-18 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

I just visited http://qa.debian.org/> looking for info on how to
report a debian developer that I suspect is missing in action.

Looking at the plan package, I starting to suspect that the maintainer
Gopal Narayanan is missing in action.  If I remember correctly, the QA
team is the group that want these messages, but I am unable to find
out how you want it reported.  It would be nice if I could simply
insert the debian user name in some web form, and that this would make
the QA team aware of the problem, and put him on the list of
developers to check out and perhaps orphan the packages of if the
maintainer fail to surface.

Do you have such system?  Do you want it?  Should I report the problem
in a different way?

That's my idea, rebuild it with fltk 1.1 and gcc 3.3, but I haven't been able 
to do it by now.

I'll retry again the migration as soon as possible, but I can't promise a 
quick solution. Ideas and help are accepted.

Is cpanel orphaned or not?

2003-11-18 Thread Andrew Pollock
Hi,

I've been working though the list[1] of orphaned packages with the 
maintainer still set to the old maintainer, and I've arrived at cpanel.

I notice that there has been a sponsored upload made recently[2]

I just wanted to know if this package was indeed orphaned? If so, I'll 
make an upload with the maintainer set to the QA group, otherwise, could 
you please close bug #213908?

regards

Andrew

Really?  I could have sworn it was in there.  Oh well, that makes it less of
a problem - users of a stable release won't know what they're missing.  
Still, if it's possible, I think we'd be well served to try and help
testing/unstable users to transition if that's practical.

Well, yeah, it's supposedly not orphaned since foka finally made the
upload; but on the other hand I haven't heard from Kam Tik for ages.
Last time I tried to contact him his email bounced.  If that
continues, I'm just going to remove that package.  For now, feel free
to close the WNPP bug.
