That means that new users won't have it available but anyone who already has it installed is welcome to it, with all it's bugs. apt does not remove it from installed systems just because it is no longer downloadable, at least until it gets in the way of other upgrades or you actively seek out orphaned / obsolete packages. If it is removed from testing due to being unsuitable for release (in this case, seven times over), then it clearly is obsolete. > I like that program very > much. For which reasons, in addition to the 7 RC bugs, a dead > upstream? That's 7 entirely sufficient reasons and one problem that arguably makes fixing the other seven harder. So 7.5 reasons to remove it from testing. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
