• Bug#1069633: Time to remove yasm from Debian?

    From Petter Reinholdtsen@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 22 00:50:01 2024
    Package: yasm
    Version: 1.3.0-4

    In <URL: https://github.com/yasm/yasm/issues/164 >, the upstream
    developer of yasm states "I'm still alive, but have moved on to other
    projects. If someone else wants to take on maintainership, I'd be happy
    to give them the access to this repo do so (presumably with some kind of transitional period where I would review/approve PRs).". The many open security issues listed on
    <URL: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/yasm >
    are all unsolved, and bsed on the statement above and the time duration
    since it was expressed it seem unlikely that this will change any time
    soon.

    Perhaps it is time to remove yasm from Debian and move all reverse build dependencies to use a different assembler?
