[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#785652: RM: udisks -- ROM; dead upstream, replaced by udisks2

[Michael Biebl]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

please remove udisks from the archive.
It has been dead upstream for quite a while and replaced by its
successor udisks2.

We filed bugs against all rdeps over a year ago. Most of them have been
fixed.
Currently remaining are libpam-usb, basenji and udisks-glue.

libpam-usb and basenji look rather unmaintained to me, so I don't
expect any updates for these packages and I don't think it makes sense
to wait for those packages to be fixed.
The maintainer of udisks-glue made it clear, that he doesn't plan a
udisks2 port and that he recommends to remove udisks-glue along with
udisks.

I therefor consider it ok at this point to remove udisks from the
archive.

Thanks,
Michael
