Bug#684533: Fwd: RDF::TrineShortcuts - deprecation

[Florian Schlichting]

retitle 684533 RDF::TrineShortcuts is deprecated and should be removed once no package depends on it any more
severity 684533 normal
thanks

Hi Kjetil,

IMHO the important bit in that email is "I just need to rework a few
modules that currently depend on it." - that is, there are other modules
in Debian that still depend on RDF::TrineShortcuts, and until those have
been changed and uploaded, librdf-trineshortcuts-perl cannot be removed
in isolation. Also, that rework may happen later this year, or next year
or whenever, and while no-one should start a new project based on
RDF::TrineShortcuts due to the deprecation, the module is apparently
bug-free and doing its job today as much as it did a year or two ago.

Packages that currently depend on librdf-trineshortcuts-perl are:

  librdf-microturtle-perl
  libhttp-lrdd-perl

I'm leaving this bug open, so that when RDF::TrineShortcuts actually is
deleted from CPAN after the reverse dependencies have been changed,
we'll know what to do. But I'm downgrading the severity to normal.

Florian
