Package: qpopper Version: 4.0.9.dfsg-1.2 Severity: serious Justification: unmaintained, FTBFS, multiple RC bugs, alternatives exist User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: proposed-removal
[X-Debbugs-Cc to the "new" maintainer in experimental, who uploaded one alpha version in 2007.] qpopper seems like a possible candidate for removal from Debian: * RC-buggy (fails to build from source with newer OpenSSL, easy patch in Ubuntu; qpopper-drac doesn't work with modern pam; sid maintainer's email address is broken) * not in wheezy, no new upstream version since before lenny * alternatives exist (Dovecot is a perfectly good POP3 server, and also does IMAP) * "unsupported" upstream, no release since 2008 * requires recompilation for configuration changes (mbox vs. maildir) If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please close this bug, and do an upload to unstable to fix the many issues in this package. If you don't think it's worth keeping, please send the following commands to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number: severity nnnnnn normal reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org retitle nnnnnn RM: <packagename> -- RoM; <reasons> thanks For more information, see http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt Regards, smcv -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
