[Bug 133784] Re: Please remove saods9 from lucid [buggy, out of date, debian orphaned]

[Scott Howard]

Requesting removal as per Cesare Tirabassi comments. It was bad a year
and a half ago, and it's still bad today.

** Summary changed:

- saods9 is way out of date wrt upstream (4.0b7 vs 5.7)
+ Please remove saods9 from lucid [buggy, out of date, debian orphaned]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: saods9
+ Cesare Tirabassi  wrote on 2008-08-27:            #5
  
- The saods9 package, which provides ds9 and the xpa programs, is way out
- of date and has not changed in some time.  The current release is 4.13.
- 4.0b7 crashes when the most basic xpa operations are executed in, e.g.,
- the numpy astronomy tutorial (example in section 1.1 of tutorial makes
- it die).  Please update to 4.13, which works fine with the tutorial.
- The tutorial is here, fyi:
+ Please remove saods9 from the archive:
  
- http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/Tutorial
+ - At least it should be removed from intrepid
+ - Please remove both source and all binaries
+ - The package is rather outdated, unmaintained in Debian and orphaned since long. It is also quite buggy and chances that will be removed from Debian are very high (see comment #4).
+ - There are no rdepends
  
- Thanks,
- 
- --jh--
+ Thanks.

** Tags removed: upgrade
