Dear Release Team, Ron Lee recently asked every maintainer with a package depending on one of our libs to remove them. It is not clear to me why he did that. All problem with our packages relevant for the new stable release have been solved (I have only one wishlist ticket left on my QA page). By removing all those dependencies he made the package perfectly useless as it is backend software and is hardly useful without other software using it. In #675610 he writes "We'd like to have nothing depending on roar for wheezy, [...]". I'm not sure about the "We" in this statement. Also I have not got any info from him or the Release Team or any other Team as far as I know. (If I missed something please kindly point me to that). I want to ask if the release team decided anything in this direction. Does the release team want a useful version of the package in wheezy? I'm not interested in any discussion but a plain offical statement from the Release Team. If the Release Team is interested in keeping the package there needs to be a discussion (diffrent thread or on IRC, ...) how to solve the situation. If there is no interested in a useful version I will submit RM bugs against all related packages I'm the maintainer for and suggest Patrick Matthäi (the maintainer of the other half of releated packages) to do the same. I don't see a point in keeping a package made useless and wasting more of our and others time. Thanks you for your help and infos. PS: Please keep Patrick Matthäi in CC as he is no longer subscribed to this list. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2)
