Package: coreutils Version: 5.97-5.7 Severity: serious User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: proposed-orphan
Hi Michael, While reviewing some packages with a lot of bugs, coreutils came up as a package that should probably be orphaned by its maintainer, because: * It has 280 open bugs, many of them unanswered, or not properly dealt with. * You haven't done any upload to unstable since 08/2006. coreutils has been maintained by NMUs since then. * The state of the package is really bad: it has been failing to build on mips and mipself for nearly a year. * You ignored my recent query about the state of the package[1]. I don't think that this is an acceptable state for a "required" package, and I've heard that some people would be willing to maintain coreutils as a team, which would probably provide much better results than the current situation. Please either fix the issues listed above, orphan your package, or organize team maintainance for it. If those problems aren't solved in 50 days, I'll orphan coreutils myself, as described in [2], so a team can take over.
