Source: libkaz Version: 1.21-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Balint Reczey <bal...@balintreczey.hu>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>
Dear Balint, I know you are typically answering fast but for documentation issues I'm communicating via this bug report. Your package came up as some Bug of the Day[1] candidate. So I had a look and first realised that the latest changelog entry in Git[2] was (most probably accidentally) not uploaded. Thus I kept on adding changes (fixed Vcs fields and watch file). However, I started wondering whether we might need that package at all in Debian any more. If you think it might be important for some corner cases please feel free to say so. Regarding the open bugs its a great target for the Bug of the Day idea and I'd volunteer to polish the package and do some Debian-team upload. However, I suggest removing libkaz from Debian for the following reasons: * The library is aged and not maintained upstream any more * There are different modern alternatives (GLib, uthash-dev and others) * No C11 features * There are no votes in popcon https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libkaz * Leaf 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 removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: libkaz -- RoM; orphaned upstream, outdated Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:libkaz Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.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. As said above I'd volunteer to polish the package and close the open bugs. Control: tags -1 + wontfix Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards and thank you for maintaining the package before Andreas.
