[Remove] Please remove aegis-virus-scanner from Gutsy

[Marco Rodrigues]

Binary package hint: aegis-virus-scanner

From author:

"If you have a problem with Aegis 0.x, don't bother asking me about it, I no longer offer any support. There is no good reason for anyone to be using it."

[Roberto Sarrionandia (rbs-tito)]

Aegis 2.x is still supported.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

But 1.x isn't :-) So it must be removed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you know why it's not removed from Debian?

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Really don't know, maybe anyone asks for it... There is a new version (v2, written from scratch), but this v1 was abandoned by author and it will have some bug reports at LP about it, not working on updates, etc.

The new version (v2) still doesn't exist on debian, can't be synced.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Will remove the following packages from gutsy:

aegis-virus-scanner | 0.1.1-1 | source, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, lpia, powerpc, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
(pitti) unmaintained, version 1.x abandoned upstream, obsolete, LP#128778
----------------------------------------------

Going to remove the packages now.
