Hi dear FTP team, Note as introduction that I'm not any of the maintainers of splashy, nor officially a member of the QA team. I hereby request the removal of the splashy source from unstable, for the following reasons: - - It currently FTBFS since May 2011 (#625013) without any sign of life from the maintainers; - - It was not present in the last stable release (dropped from testing before release); - - It's last upload was a NMU, in November 2009, without acknowledgement (so far). The latest maintainer upload was in April 2009; - - It's popcon statistices are falling, especially since libsplashy1-dev has no reverse build-depends anymore. - - It's technology is outdated and is well-replaced by plymouth's. Finally, to other readers of this bugreport, please note that I have absolutely no personal grief against (nor in favor) of splashy; I just tend to think that it's time in Debian should probably be over. Cheers, OdyX -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBCAAGBQJOuXF5AAoJEIvPpx7KFjRVm90L/0X8AoISOtMuzm51D8j04uwP X6DIRTUVYIp63RLeMA83MzDljT0Z2MaCIi2op0ZZNxo1j3OMb2rvbld+skzpyaA1 eqN8uuvbpgbw+yqeRYan77hpC7qkn1qfjfBHtaRlib3+HPWVnL8kr1zmwDtOfzfa 1Tpz9q0fJ8KtAy3O5IsT8yhqA1OKgQOw4g4Zn1lsbz1hdTmd0vJDyUjsnUV3wrTD jX2FwEgoTvtq/y/y/GWofXv6pz7kp9Mp68BMNWgGbuZ2CKaI1jnxfC8Wt2AcgkSv 5QU76sfvq2EMd0tGKUCRc4ZFp3XfAp+MY2WAk4b3gL4olxQiIhnCPb/DV/nq1acS gy6l+yUo4OA+1Y16ztl3ET9UIwkp0XEU4Gt2f9R0HshZPFrVohUTesLWl2ocVjmZ 3s6enr5ajZ7RDFxUMq5aGXEVEA2HvnNutQigTngeM6IFddYoMoCB5OrtLaKB6mSA Q3aKD7jeaG6sxM+YZX1hZwHYpPkIU5PtsmBfK9WhYg== =DM8Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
