Bug#1121816: jtex-base: Should jtex-base be removed from unstable?

Show all headers | View raw

Source: jtex-base
Version: 2.1-1.4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1115418@bugs.debian.org, 1115419@bugs.debian.org, TSUCHIYA Masatoshi <tsuchiya@namazu.org>, Debian TeX maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

Dear maintainer,

I suggest removing jtex-base from Debian for the following reasons:

 * It accumulated two bugs refering to a previously removed package
    #1115418 jlatex209-base: recommends jlatex209-bin which is not in unstable
    #1115419 jtex-base: recommends jtex-bin which is not in unstable
 * Last Maintainer upload in 2008
 * No upstream Homepage nor any activity found around this code
 * Popcon vote count down to zero since 2014
   https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=jtex-base&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
 * There seems to be no active maintainer

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

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

Once all of the mentioned 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: jtex-base -- RoM; unmaintained, not used any more
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:jtex-base

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.
