lazarus 3.0+dfsg1-6 is marked for autoremoval from testing on 2024-03-13

It is affected by these RC bugs:
1061034: lcl-utils-3.0: lcl-utils-3.0 Missing dependencies for lazbuild
https://bugs.debian.org/1061034

I really don't understand this message.
the bug was fixed and is marked as so in the BTS.
I also have 3 other bugs already fixed, but preventing migration to 
testing for more than 8 days.


What' wrong with BTS since a few days? Is there a bug, or the 
procedure to fix bugs changed?


Other bugs preventing migration according to 
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/lazarus:
 Updating lazarus would introduce bugs in testing: #1060932 
, #1060995 
, #1061009

I see a your request to remove completely from Debian: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063475


If you want migrate to testing I suppose the RM request is wrong and 
must be closed.

It's clearly *not* marked as fixed in testing in the BTS.

The autoremoval is correct, assuming the bug affects the version in 
testing. Otherwise the bug report should be changed to no longer mark it
as affecting testing.

It looks like reassigning the bugs from other packages to Lazarus seems to
confuse some migration scripts.

I've found a solution, I've tested on one of the bugs and it works: Declare the
bug affects lazarus on version 3.0+dfsg1-5 and as it was fixed in 3.0+dfsg1-6
the bug is no more blocking migration.

I'm going to do this for the two remaining bugs.

Bug#1063880: ITP: tmpwatch -- tmpwatch is a utility searches for files not accessed in a specific time and deletes them

[Peter Hyman]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Peter Hyman 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name : tmpwatch
Version : 2.12
* Upstream Contact: Peter Hyman 
URL : https://github.com/pete4abw/tmpwatch
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: C
Description : tmpwatch is a utility searches for files not accessed in a
specific time and deletes them

The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and
removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.
tmpwatch is normally used to clean up directories which are used for
temporarily holding files (for example, /tmp).

- While Debian removes files in the /tmp directory, other files may have
temporary files that needs to be cleaned periodically. tmpwatch is 
ideally used

as a cron-job.
- how do you plan to maintain it?
tmpwatch has not had any activity for over 5 years. Originally written by
Erik Troan , Preston Brown , Mike A. 
Harris
, Miloslav Trmač , I have forked 
off and

added some enhancements.

However, packaging for Debian has been challenging since the autogen I wrote
fetches a submodule which creates lots of files not in the source package. I
would need a mentor to help me get this off the ground.

Original project URL is at the Fedora project page:

development has been discontinued, as systemd-tmpfiles already 
implements this kind of functionality.


We also already have tmpreaper in the archive which basically does the 
same thing as tmpwatch.
