Package: libgetopt++
Version: 0.0.2-p22-3.1
Severity: wishlist
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal
Control: block -1 by 851301
libgetopt++ has a release-critical bug which appears to be gcc detecting
a long-standing logic error. Its last maintainer upload was in 2009
and it has subsequently been removed from testing several times.
I can't find an upstream; its documentation refers to being maintained
in either CVS (README) or Arch (debian/copyright), which suggests that
it may not have been actively maintained since those VCSs were the state
of the art.
I think we should consider removing this package from Debian so people
don't spend more time on NMUing it. config-manager would need to be
removed too (#851301).
If you agree, please reassign this bug to the archive administrators
by sending these commands to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nnnnnn
with the bug number:
severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: libgetopt++ -- RoQA; RC-buggy, appears dead upstream
thanks
Conversely, if you think this package should remain in Debian, please
close this bug (and fix the package's RC bug).
Thanks,
S
