Remove gpxviewer from vivid

[Ross Gammon]

gpxviewer (source and binary) should be removed from vivid because it has been removed from Debian testing (which was because it has not been updated to work with the latest osmgpsmap v1.0.2 - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739117). Gpxviewer is preventing the removal of osmgpsmap 0.7.3, and the migration of osmgpsmap 1.0.2 to vivid-release.

Gpxviewer has no rdepends, and Andrew Gee (upstream & Debian Maintainer) was working on an update the last time I contacted him.

Cheers,

Ross
PS: Creepy also needs to be removed - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/creepy/+bug/1389841
I will aslo file a bug for osmgpsmap.

Request seems valid, unsubscribing -sponsors and subscribing -archive.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I was just wondering when this remove will happen. Will be delayed as long as possible in the hope that upstream will provide a new package which is compatible?

This bug is still blocking osm-gps-map and packages depending on it from entering Ubuntu from Debian.

gpxviewer depending on the old version of osmgpsmap (0.7.3) is still blocking the new osmgpsmap (1.0.2) from leaving vivid-proposed. This is causing multiple bugs to be reported in Gramps:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/1395392
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/1401789
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/1428375
This was a problem in Utopic, and is about to be a problem in vivid.
The maintainer of gpxviewer (also upstream) has produced a new package for the Debian Python Applications Team (DPAT), and is awaiting sponsorship:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-apps/packages/gpxviewer/trunk/debian/
Either this latest gpxviewer should uploaded in debian, and quickly synced to vivid, or gpxviewer should be removed.

Is this request being ignored for Vivid? If it is, then it means that we will have to prepare the same SRU for osm-gps-map for the third release in a row in addition to the issues mentioned by Ross... (see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osm-gps-map) I don't think I will spend time on getting the attention from someone to do that again. Now it feels a bit like a waste of time.

If it's still possible to get gpxviewer removed and osm-gps-map 1.0.2 to go from vivid-proposed to vivid-release before the release, I really hope someone can get it done! But looking at the release schedule, I suspect it's maybe already too late. Thanks :)
