Here are 15 to remove. FWIW I looked at a total of ~50 packages to find these. All bugs have been chosschecked against the NMU claims page which is why mindi and mondo are not on this list -- yet. Package: mantis Testing: 0.17.5-6 Unstable: 0.17.5-7 Bugs: 199985 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: Bug open 1.5 months, maintainer has only a partial fix and is letting the upload be blocked by unrelated issues. Proper fix will need coordination with apache, which may not happen in time. Lots of other BTSes are in Debian. Package: ezbounce Testing: 0.99.12-2 Unstable: 0.99.12-2.1 Bugs: 139269 202278 Suggestion: remove-from-unstable Analysis: Last maintainer upload in 2001. RC bug open for more than 1 year. Package: mercury Testing: 0.10.1-3 Unstable: 0.10.1-3 Bugs: 201578 57047 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: No maintainer uploads in over 1 year. The gcc 3.3 FTBFS is not trivial. RC bugs open > 1 month and 3+ years (not RC whole time) with no activity. Package: merlin-clock Stable: 0.1.0-5 Testing: 0.1.0-5 Unstable: 0.1.0-5 Bugs: 183243 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: Waiting on a library to be forward ported to gnome 2. For 4 months and counting.. In the meantime, it's helping to block gnome 2 from testing. Package: merlin-cpufire Testing: 0.1.0-5 Unstable: 0.1.0-5 Bugs: 183244 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: See merlin-clock. Package: root-portal Testing: 0.4.11-2 Unstable: 0.4.11-2 Bugs: 183252 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: This package is unusable until a dependency is forward-ported to gnome 2. In the meantime, it should be removed from testing (maintainer wants to keep it in unstable). See merlin-clock. Package: mirrordir Testing: 0.10.49-7.2 Unstable: 0.10.49-8 Bugs: 190420 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: FTBFS filed in April, no reply. No maintainer uploads in ~1 year. Package: motioneye Testing: 1.2-1 Unstable: 1.2-1 Bugs: 199578 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: FTBFS open 2 months with no reply from maintainer. Other packages in debian can do the same things, though with more clunky interfaces. Package: multi-gnome-terminal Testing: 1.6.2-1 Unstable: 1.6.2-2 Bugs: 199746 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: Slews of important bugs. The FTBFS has had no reply for almost 2 months. Package: ncps Testing: 0.510-2 Unstable: 0.510-2 Bugs: 190810 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: FTBFS 4 months old with no reply. Package: ndtpd Testing: 3.1.4-2 Unstable: 3.1.5-1 Bugs: 195325 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: RC bug open since May with no replies. Package: netjuke Testing: 1.0b16-1 Unstable: 1.0b16-1 Bugs: 192336 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: Two users report it unusable; bug filed in May with no reply from maintainer. Package: nvi-m17n-canna Stable: 2:1.79+19991117-4 Testing: 2:1.79+19991117-4 Unstable: 2:1.79+19991117-4 Bugs: 185625 Suggestion: remove-from-unstable Analysis: Corrupts data; no reply from maintainer in 6 months; last upload 2001. Package: objc-poc Stable: 3.1.26-2 Testing: 3.1.26-2 Unstable: 3.1.26-2 Bugs: 189155 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: FTBFS with no reply for 4+ months. No uploads since 2001. Build dependency removed since it did not build from source, so not likely to be easily fixed. Package: oops Testing: 1.5.19.cvs.20010818-0.1 Unstable: 1.5.22-3 Bugs: 193053, 186951 Suggestion: remove-from-testing Analysis: Bugs open for 4 and 6 months with no reply from maintainer.
