Removal-from-sarge proposals
This is based on a trawl of the RC bug list from
http://bts.turmzimmer.net/list.html.
* I skipped all bugs reported in February.
* I skipped some bugs related to latex2html (mostly out of laziness).
* I skipped 'pending' bugs.
Out of the remaining ones, I looked at them by hand to see which ones
appeared to merit immediate removal from sarge.
remove amavis-ng/0.1.6.2-1
Too many RC bugs, open too long.
remove anubis/3.6.2-2.1
#217148. Also #218471.
The maintainer, alex@bofh.net.pl, appears to be MIA as well.
remove cl-uncommonsql/1.1.8.5-1
#217709. Orphaned and dead upstream. Adam di Carlo (ex-maintainer)
is planning to ask to have this removed from unstable.
remove debian-guide/1.1.0
#229425. Osamu noted that it was for Potato, as well.
remove debian-guide-zh/0.6
#229425, and see debian-guide.
remove erlang-mode/2.3-2
#215198: It's obsolete.
remove erlang-slang/1.0-2
#201151 (FTBFS). Maintainer apparently MIA.
remove gnome-mag/0.10.2-1
#218776: "Does not work".
remove kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf/2.4.18-5
#201459 (FTBFS) and 225604 (removal). This appears to be a boot-floppies
kernel, which is useless in sarge. Also, the maintainer isn't replying
to the bug trails (boo hiss).
remove kernel-patch-2.4.17-s390/0.0.20020816-2
#212099 (unsatisfiable build-depends). Maintainer failed to comment
for months. Also #203521 (fails to apply).
remove kernel-image-2.4.17-s390/2.4.17-3
Build-depends on the above.
I ran out of time around 'l' except for this one I happened to notice:
remove rcconf/1.6:
#218951 Thomas Hood described it as "an experimental POS with potential".
