Of course, anyone willing to hack on CTN to bring it up to speed with
current environments is welcome. But I think at this point it's not that
sensible to try to keep CTN alive in Debian without upstream support or
other longer-time commitments to code maintenance; especially since the
popcon numbers are not impressive and I don't use it myself anymore.
Well, I think popcon is not really a good help for specialized software
like this. We just know that very view users (compared to the amount
of Debian users as a whole) deal with medical imaging. Relying on
statistics of a small set is wrong (ups I hope no doctors are reading
this ;-)).
I'm cc'ing this to debian-med; maybe someone there is interested in
reviving CTN. If a release manager reads this - CTN can be removed from
testing for the time being.
So if CTN has RC bugs that we can not fix it will be removed from testing
anyway and there is no need to do extra action. This is just a technical
matter. It would be really great if we would find a way to fix the
problems in the Debian-Med group and force Upstream with patches into
action.
Kind regards
Andreas.
