Control: tags -1 + wontfix

Dear all,

I really do hope to update the package to correct the FTBFS bugs, but have unfortunately been too busy lately. Please keep the package in unstable, as I really do hope to provide an updated release that addresses these issues ASAP.

If anyone is available to help maintaining this package, I would much appreciate help and would be very keen to assist with that task. Otherwise, I will certainly get around to it myself, hopefully within the next 6 months. The bug fixes for these FTBFS issues should already be in our upstream master branch <https://github.com/ecere/ecere-sdk/commits/master/>:

and other fixes may also be available from our /latest/ branch <https://github.com/ecere/ecere-sdk/commits/latest/>.

Thank you, and apologies for the delays in fixing these issues.

Kind regards,

Dear maintainer,

I suggest removing ecere-sdk from Debian for the following reasons:
  * It accumulated 2 RC-bugs:
    + #898832: ecere-sdk: FTBFS on i386: 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/7/include/stddef.h:435:78: error: syntax error
      Last modified: 1 year, 2 months

    + #995050: ecere-sdk FTBFS with gcc 10
      Last modified: 1 year, 4 months

  * It is not part of bookworm or trixie and is not a key package.

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
  * If the bug is meant to permanently prevent the package from entering testing
    or a stable release, but this package should stay part of unstable, please
    add a usertag:

        userhelm...@debian.org
        usertags NNN + sidremove-ignore

  * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
    whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.

  * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.

  * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.

Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

     Control: severity -1 normal
     Control: retitle -1 RM: ecere-sdk -- RoM; rc-buggy
     Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
     Control: affects -1 + src:ecere-sdk

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

     Control: tags -1 + wontfix

Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.

Kind regards
