Dear warsow maintainers,
while going through the list of packages involved in the libjpeg transition, I
fell on the warsow package. A quick look at it reveals that:
- - It has 3 FTBFS bugs on various release architectures: ia64 (#593700),
kfreebsd-* (#564108) and hurd (#564109), all without answer since more than
ten months (while all have patches).
- - No new upstream release made it in Squeeze.
- - It is out-dated with regards to upstream versions (0.50 is almost 2 years
old).
- - Its bugs have seen no response in 2011.
I personally think it should be removed from Debian, both unstable and
testing, but after a short chat on #debian-games, here am I with a "discussion
bug".
Justification for serious is:
[15:49] <smcv> ok, here goes: I am a games team member and consider it to be
unsuitable for wheezy in its current state. there you go, serious. that was
easy :-)
Proposed timeline: 2 weeks open for discussion. Without people volunteering to
provide updates to warsow (by marking this bug as "-done"), I will reassign
this bug to FTP-Masters for the removal.
Cheers,
OdyX
