Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the memtest86 package.

There will likely be no more DGSF-compliant version of this package.
memtest86+ probably supercedes it completely nowadays.  I'm orphaning
this one at the same time as memtest86+, as it makes sense either to
have the same people maintaining them, or to drop old memtest86.


The package description is:
 Memtest86 scans your RAM for errors.
 .
 This tester runs independently of any OS - it is run at computer
 boot-up, so that it can test *all* of your memory.  You may want to
 look at `memtester', which allows testing your memory within Linux,
 but this one won't be able to test your whole RAM.
 .
 It can output a list of bad RAM regions usable by the BadRAM kernel
 patch, so that you can still use you old RAM with one or two bad bits.
 .
 This is the last DFSG-compliant version of this software, upstream
 has opted for a proprietary development model starting with 5.0.  You
 may want to consider using memtest86+, which has been forked from an
 earlier version of memtest86, and provides a different set of
 features.  It is available in the memtest86+ package.
 .
 A convenience script is also provided to make a grub-legacy-based
 floppy or image.
