• Bug#1100005: makepp: Should makepp be removed from unstable?

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 10 09:10:01 2025
    Source: makepp
    Version: 2.0.98.5-2.1
    Severity: serious
    Justification: grab attention of maintainer
    X-Debbugs-Cc: Max Vozeler <xam@debian.org>, 1087904@bugs.debian.org, Daniel Pfeiffer <occitan@esperanto.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>

    Dear maintainer,

    I suggest removing makepp from Debian for the following reasons:

    * It accumulated one RC-bug:
    + #1087904 makepp: d/copyright doesn't say where the software came from
    Last modified: 28 Nov 2016
    * It is not a key package, has alternatives, no (Build-)Depends
    * There are very few votes in popcon
    https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=makepp&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1

    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, please evaluate each of the RC-bugs listed above.
    * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
    whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.

    * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.

    * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.

    Once the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
    please close this bug.

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

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: makepp -- RoM; rc-buggy
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:makepp

    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

    Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.

    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.
