• Bug#1068834: RM: sopel -- RoQA; orphaned; NPOASR; very old

    From Andrey Rakhmatullin@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 11 20:50:01 2024
    Package: ftp.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: sopel@packages.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:sopel
    User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
    Usertags: remove

    Last maintainer upload in 2019, orphaned since 2019, 6.x is "we don't support anymore" per an upstream 2021 comment in https://github.com/sopel- irc/sopel/issues/2022

    From the Orphaning email: "I also couldn't find a good reason to use this instead of
    more established codebase like Limnoria, which are seeing way more
    development and third-party packages.

    There is also an RC bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943405 which doesn't make much sense to me and seems to be debunked by the upstream in https://github.com/sopel-irc/sopel/issues/2022 but meh.



    $ dak rm -Rn sopel
    Will remove the following packages from unstable:

    sopel | 6.6.9-2.2 | source, all

    Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
