reassign 542846 ftp.debian.org retitle 542846 RM: reseed -- ROM; potential security issues, depends on sketchy service which discourages its own use thanks
For those just joining us: There are no reverse dependencies. reseed's removal has been proposed in the BTS for a year, it has a series of other problems, and nobody can think of a compelling reason to keep it. I maintained this once because I was once under the impression that it was useful for the Hurd. There are better alternatives today and may have been at the time I adopted (or packaged it -- I can't remember) as well. :) <quote who="Christoph Anton Mitterer" date="Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 09:20:50AM +0000"> > On Wed, 4 Aug 2010 08:05:59 +0200, martin f krafft <madd...@debian.org> > wrote: > > No, but we can repurpose this bug against ftp.debian.org.

I think the answer to the submitter's quesiton is "No." It's been almost a year since removal was suggested and nobody has objected. The package is crufty, connects to insecure service, and raises non-free network services issues. Let's rid ourselves of it. > If he's looking for a replacement package to maintain... he > could/should take this: > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591472 Thanks! But no thanks. :) Regards, Mako -- Benjamin Mako Hill m...@atdot.cc http://mako.cc/ Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results. --GNU Manifesto
