Bug#425751: RM: pcproxy -- RoM; abandoned upstream; orphaned; superseded



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove package pcproxy from unstable (it's shipped with stable
(etch) and oldstable (sarge) too, btw.)

Kees Leune, the software's author and Debian package maintainer, clearly
intended to ask for the package removal when submitting quoted bug:

Also, on the author's webpage at
http://www.leune.org/2007/05/pcproxy.html, it says:

I'll close the bugs against pcproxy (#246670 and #390251) once the
package has been removed.

Thanks, Bye,

Joost
