Bug#732725: We intent to request the removal of libogre-perl (was: Re: Bug#732725: libogre-perl: Please upgrade OGRE dependency to 1.9 when upstream ready)

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

the Debian Perl Team intents to file a removal bug for libogre-perl as

* it no more builds against libogre 1.9 (#732725);
* its upstream seems inactive since 2013, see
  https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=94066#txn-1344923;
* it never had much popcon (maximum 26, current 22, vote maximum 7,
  vote current 1); and
* it has no hard reverse dependencies.

The only non-hard reverse dependencies are

* games-perl-dev which Recommends it, and
* libois-perl which Enhances it.

Unless there are objections _and_ a fix, we'll soon file a removal bug
report for libogre-perl soon.

Cc to the submitter of #732725, the games-perl-dev maintainers and
Dmitry E. Oboukhov who RFP'ed libogre-perl.

(The maintainer of libois-perl is the Debian Perl Team itself, hence
I'll remove that "Enhances" header there myself, soon, too.)

		Regards, Axel
