In closing the bug with no further action, the autoremover will file a new one. If you really want to keep the package, please also send a status update to the rc bug. > On 9/18/24 06:49, Helmut Grohne wrote: > > I suggest removing zmodemjs from Debian for the following reasons: > > it's a build-depends of ttyd. unfortunately, the whole webpack stuff > broke hard/incompatible in debian at some point, so stuff doesn't work > anymore and neeeds to be updated (which did not appear to be straight > forward, hence the delay). This is not technically true. The autoremover checks for reverse dependencies before filing bugs. I double checked now and I could not identify any dependency chain leading from src:ttyd to anything containing zmodem. The last build log also did not mention any zmodem. Going back to our interaction on ttyd, I think what you mean to say is that zmodemjs should become a build dependency of ttyd in order to fix its rc bug. Is that correct? In any case, please bear in mind that keeping broken packages in unstable for prolonged time bears a cost to QA teams. I question whether this cost is warranted in the case of zmodemjs and ttyd. If you do not find time soonish, maybe it is better for Debian as a whole to remove the package now and reintroduce it when you manage to find time. Thanks for considering Helmut
