Bug#1107465: prerequest unblock: emacs-goodies-el/42.4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: emacs-goodies-el@packages.debian.org, sten@debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:emacs-goodies-el
Please unblock package emacs-goodies-el
This is a prerequest, and emacs-goodies-el is intended for Trixie.
If you intend to unblock helm (#1107141), please let me know and I'll
additionally file an unblock for project-el (which depends on helm).
If not, I'll drop project-el from src:emacs-goodies-el's dependencies,
because emacs-goodies-el only transitively depends on helm (via
project-el); this was and remains the worst-case scenario plan.
[ Reason ]
On Tue, 31 Dec 2024 Manphiz refused to adopt helm, but appears to have
reconsidered around 1 June 2025. Meanwhile, I was surprised that no
other team members adopted this popular package.
[ Impact ]
Emacs-goodies-el is a heritage high-popcon package that should not
silently disappear from a major release. We're also supposed to be
good about not violating the principle of least surprise.
[ Tests ]
NA
[ Risks ]
None
[ Checklist ]
[NA] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[NA] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[NA] attach debdiff against the package in testing
