Nudged.


Another four months have passed and there's still no sign of any  
activity from Philippe.  Can this package please be orphaned now so  
that I can adopt it?


Thanks...

I pinged him again, if he doesn't manage to update the package in a
week or so, please go ahead.

BTW, please request the removal of amd.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/amd reads:

  Package: amd (1:0.3)
  Dummy package for upgrades

  In Debian 2.2 and below the BSD automounter was provided by this
  package. Starting with Debian 3.0 ("woody"), this is provided by
  the am-utils package.

  You may remove this package at any time.

Orphan oops

[Moritz Muehlenhoff]

Hi,
oops in sid hasn't received the sid fix for DSA-726 for three months now,
and another security report hasn't received a reply for three weeks.
There are 1.5 years old RC portability bugs as well, last maintainer upload
was 14 months ago. So oops should really be orphaned. Given the fact that
it's not part of Sarge and only 7 voting popcon users exist it might as well
be removed completely.

Cheers,
Moritz

I have no idea why anyone would use this instead of newsx or suck.  Maybe
because it's simpler, I suppose, but no one seems to be eagerly using it.
It can probably go.

It really only deals with half of the problem that most private news
servers have, the other half being pulling articles down from the upstream
server.  newsx and suck both handle both parts of the problem.

> ninpaths (1 bug)

ninpaths has been included in INN 2.x, so the package is really only still
useful for people who don't want to upgrade from INN 1.x or who are using
some other method to get it to work with a news server other than INN.  On
the other hand, it's a very simple and small package.

> (non-free) diablo (9 bugs, 1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

Diablo is a fairly widely used news server, so it's something of a shame
that the Debian package isn't attracting any users.  On the other hand,
it's non-free, which significantly reduces my willingness to care and
leaves me unwilling to adopt it myself.

Re: Source packages apparantly without any users (popcon)

[Nathanael Nerode]

Note that the RC bugs are integrated in total bug count:


I'm going to ignore the ones with no bugs for now.
Roxen seems to deserve some analysis of its own.  Perhaps it could be 
strongly suggested to Turbo that he drop

the entire constellation of roxen3 packages (roxen3, libroxen-*)?


xmms-alarm-bmp1 (4 bugs, 1 RC, not in testing nor stable)

Uninstallable, and never had a maintainer upload.  RC bug open 317 
days.  Should be removed.



uucpsend (1 bug)


156-day-old RC bug.  Suggest asking Joey to consider removing it.


sylpheed-claws-vcalendar-plugin (1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)


138-day-old RC bug, but tagged "help".


sylpheed-claws-pgpinline-plugin (2 bugs, 1 RC, not in testing nor stable)

Grave bug "pending" since 4 May.  Apparently the maintainer's sponsor is 
not awake.  DD should contact maintainer and offer to help.



(contrib) php4-vpopmail (1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

RC bug 79 days old.  vpopmail (same maintainer) has a bug "pending" 
since August 2004.  Prod the maintainer;

he's probably MIA.

I'll get to the rest later...

Re: Source packages apparantly without any users (popcon)

[Nathanael Nerode]

php-clamav (not filed RC bug, not in testing nor stable)


Uninstallable.  Mainainter needs a wake-up call.


pcrd (1 bug, same version in oldstable as in unstable)


124-day-old copyright file problem.  Maintainer needs a poke.


ninpaths (1 bug)


Might be OK to leave this.


(non-free) mush (2 bugs)

Same maintainer as vpopmail  (Pawel Wiecek), but he seems to be 
maintaining this one a little more.  There's still a two-month-old 
unapplied translation patch.  Ping him?



lyskom-server (1 bug)


0 bugs now.  This seems well maintained and should therefore be kept.


ledstats (1 bug)


Likewise, 0 bugs now.


jukebox-mercury (2 bugs)

No maintainer uploads, last upload two years ago.  Maintainer is 
maintaining his other packages though.



jsboard (8 bugs)

Trivial bugs 130 days old and more.  Failed to acknowledge NMU from 
2003.  Not managing his bugs properly!

Maintainer needs a poke.


jsboard-*


See jsboard.


(non-free) diablo (9 bugs, 1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

2 RC bugs, one 85 days old, one 143 days old.  Not built on most 
architectures.

This should certainly be removed.


(contrib) charva (3 bugs, 1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

Uninstallable, FTBFS, last upload Jan 2004.  Out of date w.r.t. 
upstream.  Should certainly be removed.



zope-kinterbasdbda (orphaned, 1 bug)

Been waiting for new upstream version for over a year.  Make a last call 
for a maintainer on debian-devel, then remove.



zmailer (14 bugs, 2 RC bugs, not in testing nor stable)


Last upload Jan 2004.  Should be removed.


xa+cv (2 bugs, 1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

Last upload in 2001. RC bug 305 days old. Should certainly be removed.  
Maintainer (Anthony Fok) is clearly MIA; his last upload was in June 
2004, and the last before that in February 2004.


All his packages need orphaning or removal.


vmelilo (1 bug)

Functional, and only useful for some m68k subarches, so I wouldn't worry 
too much yet.



tcpquota (2 bugs)

Turbo Fredriksson again.  Last upload 2002; trivial-to-fix minor bug 
open 144 days; hasn't closed bug fixed

in NMU 5 years ago.


radioclk (2 bugs)

1-year-old patch for switch to gettext-based debconf templates.  
Maintainer could use some prodding, but
seems to be doing minimal maintenance, and it's rather special-purpose 
so I'm not surprised it has a low popcon count.



(non-free) qla2x00 (1 bug)


Driver-specific, maintained; no surprise that this is low on popcon.


nufw (7 bugs, 3 RC bugs, not in testing nor stable)


Not built on several architectures.  Uninstallable.  Bad version numbering.
Certainly should suggest to the maintainer that he remove this.


(non-free) mmix (2 bugs, 1 RC bug, not in testing nor stable)

Patched FTBFS bug open for over a year.  Maintainer (Pablo S. Torralba) 
hasn't uploaded anything since November 2004.  Remove it, and check 
whether the maintainer is MIA.


>manderlbot (1 bug, non-filed RC bug)
FTBFS fixed in NMU, not closed for over a year.  Uninstallable.  No 
maintainer upload since Feb 2004.

Ask maintainer to consider removing it.


linesrv (5 bugs)

221-day-old portability patch; maintainer said he was going to fix it in 
December.  Maintainer appears to have

vanished; check for MIA and ask if he might want to remove the package.

>libgcr410 (3 bugs)
No idea.


kernel-patch-2.4.19-arm (1 RC bug)

Obsolete, should be removed eventually -- but you wouldn't expect it to 
be installed, so popcon rating means nothing.



happydigger (1 bug)

Maintained, relatively new, and highly field-specific.  Popcon rating 
unsurprising.



atari-bootstrap (1 bug)

Another one of these weird m68k packages, which should certainly stay.  
Someone using popcon has installed it now, anyway.
