Source: flare Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: The source package flare is used to build two packages: flare and flare-data. Both of them are transition packages, providing a seamless upgrade path to the current packages flare-engine and flare-game.
As even Jessie (oldoldstable) already only provided these packages for transition to the new ones, I think this source package is no longer useful. The issue there is by keeping it is that it is a source of confusion: I have seen Debian users that due to the low version number of this transition package thought that the current version of the engine and game were not packaged into Debian, thinking it was no longer maintained. To avoid further confusion, I suggest the removal of the flare source package, and the two binary packages built from it. From a quick check on a Debian Sid, it does not seem that there is any package currently depending on these ones. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
