Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: Masanori Goto <go...@sanori.org>, l...@packages.debian.org
Please remove lha from Debian. I am CCing the maintainer in case he wants to object again. It has been maintained by NMUers for 8 years, the last maintainer upload was in 2004 and the maintainer hasn't responded to any of the bug reports during that time http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lha/news/20041113T140219Z.html The maintainer never responded to the request to upload an alternative upstream: http://bugs.debian.org/240830 http://sourceforge.jp/projects/lha/releases/ It has a history of security issues: http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/lha It is non-free but has it now has 2 free replacements in the archive: jlha-utils: a Java implementation lhasa: a command-line compatible C implementation In case these implementations have issues, people can reportbug bugs in them and they can improve. Also we now have snapshot.debian.org for people who encounter issues and need the non-free lha. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
