Thank you Aline, Frederic and Ernst for all your feedback, all we heard so far went went the same direction - so it is more an agreeing than a discussion. Therefore I changed the bug to officially request the packages to be removed in artful. Furthermore as fallback for users who come by the bug missing the package I referred to the ppa and the upstream download page. Frederic did so in this thread already, yet OTOH all your posts seem to wait for moderation I guess so let me summarize here as well. The following is a copy&paste of my last update to the bug so that people can find things in the mail archive as well: @~ubuntu-archive per comments #8 #16 #25 and #29 I think we reached consensus and should remove the following packages from the archive in Artful: - kimchi - ginger Reasoning: - broken - outdated - not maintained - no further dependencies on them that would block Looking for an archive admin that is willing to consider removing them. Unassigning from Frederic and subscribing ~ubuntu-archive so one can pick. FYI - For users who come here "missing" these packages (well likely missing a working version). The projects strategy itself seems to be self provided deb's - while I don't like that you can get it at [1]. Furthermore there is a ppa maintained by IBM which you could use at [2]. But also please read the referred comments and links if you really want that.
