Package too old, please drop it

[golubovsky]

Binary package hint: hsffig

I am Dimitry Golubovsky, developer of HSFFIG. The version 0.1.2-2 you are packaging was written with GHC 6.2.2 and old versions of packages required. It will not compile with GHC-6.6.x. Besides, changes in C preprocessor behavior in gcc 4.x make preprocessor output contents unsuitable for HSFFIG.

I am working on accomodating of these changes. In the meanwhile I am requesting that you do not include HSFFIG of old versions in any UBUNTU distributions. Nobody will be able to use it anyway. I asked Debian maintainers to do the same, there was no response. I hope that UBUNTU maintainers will demonstrate better understanding.

Thank you. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Dimitry

Thank you for your bug report. I assigned ubuntu-universe-sponsors so that a MOTU can deal with your request.

Will remove the following packages from gutsy:

    hsffig | 0.1.2-2 | source, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
(pitti) does not work with current ghc, request of upstream author
----------------------------------------------

Going to remove the packages now.

Thanks for your notice!

Thanks.

Once I have the current version of HSFFIG in order, I'll suggest it
for packaging.
