Dear opensync folks, I guess this may be of interest for you - if you are interested in keeping opensync in Debian I would ask you to get in contact with the maintainers (http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/opensync.html). Kind regards Harald Jenny ----- Forwarded message from Neil Williams <cod...@de...> ----- Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2012 23:15:16 +0000 From: Neil Williams <cod...@de...> To: deb...@li... Cc: Robert Collins <ro...@ro...>, Michael Banck <mb...@de...>, Matthias Jahn <jah...@fr...>, Jonny Lamb <jo...@de...> Subject: Status of opensync in Debian - mass removal very likely X-Local-Spam-Level: X-Mailer: Sylpheed 3.2.0beta5 (GTK+ 2.24.10; x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) opensync/multisync is a complete mess, collecting 25 RC bugs between 20 source packages and a collective 17,626 days waiting to enter testing. dd-list attached. Summary: libopensync-plugin-gnokii 1462 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-gpe 1462 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-irmc 976 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC libopensync-plugin-kdepim 1025 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC libopensync-plugin-moto 1207 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-opie 1190 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-palm 1461 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-python 1347 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 libopensync-plugin-sunbird 1456 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 osynctool 765 days old (needed 10 days) RC opensync 663 days old (needed 10 days) RC x 3 libopensync-plugin-xmlformat 754 days old (needed 10 days) opensync libopensync-plugin-vformat 768 days old (needed 10 days) opensync libopensync-plugin-syncml 755 days old (needed 10 days) opensync libopensync-plugin-file 755 days old (needed 10 days) opensync libopensync-plugin-evolution2 755 days old (needed 10 days) libcamel-1.2-23 et al multisync0.90 825 days old (needed 10 days) libopensync0 RC x 2 synce-sync-engine depends opensync, libopensync-plugin-python libopensync-plugin-google-calendar libopensync0 (experimental) RC x 3 synce-kpm depends on synce-sync-engine Most depend on libopensync0 which does not exist anymore, those which have been updated are split between libopensync1exp3 and libopensync1exp7. libopensync1exp3 does not exist, libopensync1exp7 has 3 RC bugs. If there's no response (I'm NOT expecting fixes, just *some* idea of whether these RC bugs *can* be fixed and all the packages migrated to whatever counts as the latest available libopensync version), ALL of these packages will have to be removed. I'm afraid it's SO unlikely that anything is going to be truly fixed by Wheezy, the only real option for a deadline is 7 days to get *SOME* kind of expression of interest, some idea of a plan. Naturally, if the maintainers wish to file the removal bugs themselves, that would be appreciated. I know all of these have already been removed from testing, but the packages in unstable are completely unusable / not installable. Just leaving RC bugs in unstable for years should not be acceptable. There are packages in experimental too but those appear to be gathering RC bugs as well, so I'll also file removal bugs for those. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ ----- End forwarded message ----- |
