Good morning,

Does anyone know the reason from removing the tn5250 emulator from the package system? It is still maintained and available in other distros.

Regards,
Henrik Morsing

Ok, so it can be added again, thanks.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a debian-user list post is not
the preferred way to request addition of a package that hasn't been in
Debian for some 12-13 years.

Requesting a former package seems to be a grey area:
<https://wiki.debian.org/RFP>.

A former package seems to violate the criteria "It is not packaged
yet" to make the request. I'm guessing that it should say something
along the lines, "it is not currently packaged."

This looks like the one Henrik would be interested in. It is the WNPP
bug report: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826643>.

Also see <https://wnpp.debian.net/>, where tn5250 is a hit in the database.
