Hi, I intend to file a new round of removal requests from testing for packages that were not part of etch and are orphaned: bcm5700-source - #494707 chdrv - #503522 darksnow - #497141 ikvm - #466336 libvisual-projectm - #494502 nautilus-share - #501938 php-openid - #501946 qtparted - #482400 sparkline-php - #483252 xar - #446003 Except for qtparted the popcon numbers are all pretty low. Joey had concerns against the removal of sparkline-php in July. Popcon lists 5 installations, so I'd propose to remove it. Joey? Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
