Bug#1030085: RM: bcolz -- RoQA; Package went unmaintained upstream and it now fails to build from source
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
X-Debbugs-Cc: bcolz@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:bcolz
The bcolz maintainers declared that the package is unmaintained.
https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz
bcolz's single non-meta pacakge dependency was dask, and the dask developers
declared bcolz deprecated.
https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/8330
And now bcolz has started failing to build from source because of changes in
numpy.
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=bcolz&suite=sid
We should probably just remove it.
