Bug#1118527: iisemulator: Should iisemulator be removed from unstable?

Show all headers | View raw

Source: iisemulator
Version: 0.95-3.5
Severity: serious
Justification: grab attention of maintainer
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1115407@bugs.debian.org, Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <jfs@computer.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

Dear Javier,

I suggest removing iisemulator from Debian for the following reasons:

 * In bug
    #1115407 iisemulator: recommends honeyd which is not in unstable
   it was stated
     I don't think this package has any purpose left
 * There are no votes (green markers) in popcon
   https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=iisemulator&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
 * Last maintainer upload was in 2006

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 let me know that
you see any sense in keeping this package and I'd volunteer to migrate
it to Salsa.

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

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: iisemulator -- RoM; not useful any more in Debian
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:iisemulator

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

In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

    Control: tags -1 + wontfix


This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.


Kind regards
   Andreas.
