Hi Helmut,

thanks for filing this bug. Indeed, cpl-plugin-xshoo is in a bad condition. Upstream however suggested that they could take over the bug a while ago, but this hasn't settled down yet. I would not maintain the package (as all other cpl-plugin-* packages) anymore in any case, and my plan is to ask for package removal when we come close to the first freeze and the package is not taken over.

Please keep it in unstable until then.

Best

Ole

Dear maintainer,

I suggest removing cpl-plugin-xshoo from Debian for the following reasons:
  * It accumulated one RC-bug:
    + #1035786: cpl-plugin-xshoo-calib: xshoo-kit-3.5.3*.tar.gz is no longer 
downloadable
      Last modified: 1 year, 3 months

  * It is not part of bookworm or trixie and is not a key package.

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
  * If the bug is meant to prevent the package from entering testing or a stable
    release, but this package should stay part of unstable, please add a
    usertag:

        user helm...@debian.org
        usertags NNN + sidremove-ignore

  * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
    whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.

  * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.

  * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.

Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

     Control: severity -1 normal
     Control: retitle -1 RM: cpl-plugin-xshoo -- RoM; rc-buggy
     Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
     Control: affects -1 + src:cpl-plugin-xshoo

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

In case you disagree with the above, please downgrade this bug below RC
severity. Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.

Kind regards
