Bug#1118537: jargon: Should jargon be removed from unstable?
Source: jargon
Version: 4.0.0-9
Severity: serious
Justification: grab attention of potential new maintainer
X-Debbugs-Cc: 914542@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
Hi,
I suggest removing jargon from Debian for the following reasons:
* No maintainer
* No upstream
http://www.catb.org/jargon/download.html :
"Also note that the info version has been phased out; it's an HTML
world now."
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. If no real maintainer might
pick up the task to modernise the package and possibly base it on the
latest jargon database as suggested in bug #914542 it will be reassigned
to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case there will be no new maintainer in 31 days I will reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: jargon -- RoM; unmaintained, unsupported upstream
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:jargon
In case you want to take over maintenance, please add a wontfix tag to
this bug.
Control: tags -1 + wontfix
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
