Hi,
During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we
decided that looking at packages that haven't been uploaded for a very
long time could cover up some QA problems.
I've done this now and your package showed up on the list. I propose
to remove it.
As the maintainer, I agree that it should be removed. It has been
superceded by the libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java package, anyway.
The saxon-catalog package was essentially a user-friendly wrapper to
provide transparent, xml catalog-aware XSLT processing with saxon.
It's really no longer maintainable and IMO should be dropped.
Cheers,
Mark
It has not many users, was NMUed twice and has 2 RC bugs at the moment.
This usually means that your package matched some of the following
criteria:
[1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than
three years.
[2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**)
[3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you
might be MIA
[4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than
100 users with the package installed.
[5] the package was not released with sarge
and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true.
(**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed
more than one month before the time the check was performed.
After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign
this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or
ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it).
The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to
proceed.
Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't
help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel
responsible for their packages without needing other people to force
them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing
the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users.
Thanks!
Marc
