Hey all, libmmap-ruby is a package that seemed to have the highest urgency for the gem2deb transition, as it has a very high popcon score. However, the transition gave a lot of troubles: upstream has been gone for over 6 years, tests fail, it doesn't work for Ruby 1.9.1. Praveen has tried to fix it but got stuck, the same holds for me.

I also wonder why > mmap has such a high popcon, as it has no reverse depends at all. We just figured out that the high popcon is due to the high popcon of libruby-extras (the have the same installation statistics and graph), which used to depend on it in Squeeze. I expect that the package is actually not used at all, so I would like to drop the package completely. If some application comes up that needs some mmap library (there are others nowadays), we'll have a look at these. Any objections? Paul P.S.
