Should we remove opensync?
Hi,
Opensync family of packages has accumulated a full of 21 RC bugs [1] without any
comments from the maintainer. Furthermore, some of the packages block the lafiles
release goal[2].
Looking at the list of packages:
libopensync-plugin-evolution2, broken, #619712
libopensync-plugin-file
libopensync-plugin-gnokii rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-google-calendar, rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles, experimental-only
libopensync-plugin-gpe rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-irmc rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-kdepim rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-moto rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable,
libopensync-plugin-opie rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-palm rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-python rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-sunbird rc-buggy: FTBFS, uninstallable, lafiles
libopensync-plugin-syncml
libopensync-plugin-tomboy, experimental-only
libopensync-plugin-tomboy-sync, experimental-only
libopensync-plugin-vformat
libopensync-plugin-xmlformat
opensync, rc-buggy: FTBFS. patch in ubuntu.
osynctool, rc-buggy (non-use of $EDITOR).
msynctool experimental only, last upload 2008, uninstallable
multisync0.90, FTBFS, uninstallable
If we fix opensync with the patch from ubuntu, we get a full of 4 working
plugins. This makes me wonder if if would be just simpler to remove the whole
suite for time being? Then again, the NEW team is not going to be happy
if someone desides to bring all those packages back to Debian again. Any
recommondations?
