Should we remove raidtools?

Hi, Do we need to have three different RAID packages in sarge? >From the package description, it's only necessary for unpatched 2.2 kernels. Given that we're trying to get rid of all 2.2 kernels, can we get rid of raidtools? It's got RC bugs. I know someone was trying to get a sponsor for an up

PTS stuck?

Hi, The PTS doesn't seem to have updated in a few days, has it gotten stuck somehow? regards Andrew

Remove syscalltrack?

Hi, syscalltrack isn't looking too flash: * approaching two years orphaned * 3 release critical bugs * Grossly out of date with upstream (and upstream hasn't released in over a year) Looks like it's already on Martin's radar for removal... regards Andrew

visualos

Hi, VisualOS seems to be a native package. The previous maintainer was also the upstream developer (it's a SourceForge project). So should I convert this to a normal style package instead? Is it as straightforward as renaming the tarball? regards Andrew

Remove trustees?

Hi, I think we can probably remove trustees: * orphaned * upstream dead * same functionality available in POSIX ACLs regards Andrew

gg2 release quality

Hi, IMO gg2 isn't release quality, and should be at least removed from Sarge if not the archive altogether, based on #251960. What do others think? I believe similar functionality is available in other packages. regards Andrew

Maybe remove gnomba?

Hi, Apparently gnomba's dead upstream, and it's got a fair few open bugs. I believe Samba browsing is a built in function of GNOME these days, so this package is probably redundant? regards Andrew

Maybe remove premail...

Hi, premail has a few old, functional bugs open. It's in contrib, hasn't been changed since woody released, and I can't find it's upstream. I think you can achieve similar functionality with gnupg and mixmaster. Maybe we should just remove this package? regards Andrew

guile-oops

Egads! So I go to try and prepare a QA upload of guile-oops to orphan it properly, and it's currently a native package. I just converted visualos to a non-native package, so I figure I'll have a go with guile-oops. The bloody thing's got a tarball inside its source tarball. What should I do in th
