  • Bug#1098886: gbemol: Should gbemol be removed from unstable?

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 25 14:50:01 2025
    Source: gbemol
    Version: 0.3.2-2
    Severity: serious
    Justification: grab attention of maintainer
    X-Debbugs-Cc: Andrea Colangelo <warp10@ubuntu.com>, Andrea Colangelo <warp10@debian.org>, 967373@bugs.debian.org, 469501@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

    Dear maintainer,

    I suggest removing gbemol from Debian for the following reasons:

    * depends on deprecated GTK 2 (see bug #967373)
    * The number of real use votes (green graph) is quite low
    https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=gbemol&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
    * Upstream is inactive since 2009 so the long standing bug
    #469501 nasty window handling
    will probably never be fixed

    This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

    In case the package should be kept in unstable, I would suggest to
    move maintenance to Debian Multimedia team and I'd happily volunteer
    to do so for you.

    In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
    bug report:

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: gbemol -- RoM: unmaintained upstream, low usage, depends on deprecated GTK 2
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:gbemol

    Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

    In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

    Control: tags -1 + wontfix

    Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
    aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
    the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow.

    Kind regards
    Andreas.
