Remove galeon from testing
This probably won't be popular, but:
Package: galeon
Testing: 1.2.5-0.woody.1
Unstable: 1.3.9-1
Bugs: not-filed
Suggestion: remove-from-testing
Analysis:
Due to the galeon-nautilus binary package, galeon in testing is broken
by the new version of nautilus, which is needed to get GNOME 2.2 in
shape in testing. galeon and mozilla are both somewhat broken in
unstable at the moment (#203100, #208319, #209234, #213464), and it
looks like it'll take a few weeks to get them up to scratch.
.
Jordi Mallach, Sebastien Bacher, and I had been considering a
testing-proposed-updates upload to get rid of galeon-nautilus from
testing. However, it turns out that galeon/testing is built with
woody's C++ ABI, so building it on a modern system is going to require
a good deal of build system hackery. That probably means that
galeon/testing is unsuitable for release anyway (unbuildable, and could
possibly have difficulty with C++ plugins?), and I think we definitely
want to release something newer than the 1.0.0 version of mozilla
currently in testing! We agreed that the best course of action is to
remove galeon 1.2.5 from testing so that nautilus is free to be
upgraded, and continue working on galeon and mozilla in unstable.
Cheers,
