RM: fplll -- outdated
Package: ftp.debian.org
Hi, the fplll package :
- is five year olds so is several stable versions behind upstream, hence
unmaintained upstream ;
- doesn't have any rdepends in the archive ;
- is a research-level mathematical software so outdated to be useless ;
- has a maintainer, T.Abbott (in CC), which doesn't have the time to
take care of it, hence unmaintained in debian ;
- the issue has been discussed on the debian-science mailing-list (in
CC), where the removal has been proposed ;
- I'm not the current maintainer, but I packaged the latest upstream
version, hence my implication in the matter ;
So I think it should just be removed from debian for the time being --
it will be replaced by an up-to-date package after the stable release.
