Subject: dpkg-mountable removed from Debian unstable
Message-ID: <20010422143649.A1466@fisch.cyrius.com>
Mime-Version: 1.0

Delivered-To: 88174-done@bugs.debian.org
dpkg-mountable has been removed from Debian unstable and won't be
released with the next official release of Debian, codenamed "woody".
The original maintainer writes:
| * I can no longer test new versions of this package, as I'm using
| apt-zip rather than my not-free dialup access. I wrote it when I
| was accessing the University's NFS archive mirror!
|
| * It's slightly buggy, and badly out-of-date policy-wise.
|
| * Apt now provides (AFAIK) all the features provided by
| dpkg-mountable, and some (such as package ordering) that it never
| got around to getting.
Please switch to apt.
If you have questions about this, please contact me.
