Bug#946593: RM: ruby-hpricot -- ROM; deprecated, no reverse-depends



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove ruby-hpricot from unstable. It's deprecated, and was only
kept around because a reverse dependency (ronn) was still very useful
and used by a lot of other packages. ronn has since been ported away
from ruby-hpricot, to a maintained library, so it's now OK to drop
ruby-hpricot.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796020
for details.

There are still two reverse build-dependencies, ruby-premailer and
ruby-premailer-rails, but those are spurious: upstream moved away from
it but they were never dropped from the Debian package. I will make
uploads dropping them just after I send this email.
