Hello! I'd like to find new maintainers for some of my packages because I have had less time for Debian. I'd like to focus the small amount of time that I have for Debian on other things. For now, I intend to do my best to keep maintaining this package. However, I will probably retitle this bug with the 'O:' prefix at some point, indicating that I have orphaned it. Feel free to upload a new version of the package and remove me from the uploaders in debian/control. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Also note that I always willing to sponsor uploads! Cheers,

It has no reverse dependencies in Debian. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth The upstream project had its last git commit 8 years ago: https://github.com/smira/go-aws-auth This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused golang-*-dev packages from Debian. I believe the QA cost associated with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is ever any future need for it. Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to keep this package in Debian. /Simon jas@frallan:~$ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth | 0.0~git20160320.0070896-1.1 | source golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth-dev | 0.0~git20160320.0070896-1.1 | all Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team <pkg-go-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>------------------- Reason ----------------------------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies...

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth | 0.0~git20160320.0070896-1.1 | source golang-github-smira-go-aws-auth-dev | 0.0~git20160320.0070896-1.1 | all------------------- Reason ------------------- ROTeamM; unmaintained and unused ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 940422@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/940422 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
